Power, climate and rules at a glance
| Electricity | $0.036 - $0.048/kWh |
|---|---|
| Energy mix | mainly gas-fired grid power |

| Legal status | The sources we cite give a hosting rate of about $0.048/kWh (about $0.036 on a seven-year prepaid contract) but do not state mining rules. Nigeria has restrictions on banks handling crypto transactions. Treat legality as unconfirmed and take local legal advice before investing; grid reliability is also a practical constraint. |
