Step-by-step solution

Here's the solution for Q1.a.ii:

  1. Convert total grid generation from TWh to kWh.

    Given grid generation = 32 TWh/year32 \text{ TWh/year}.
    We know that 1 TWh=109 kWh1 \text{ TWh} = 10^9 \text{ kWh}.

    Total grid generation=32 TWh×109 kWh1 TWh=32×109 kWh/year\text{Total grid generation} = 32 \text{ TWh} \times \frac{10^9 \text{ kWh}}{1 \text{ TWh}} = 32 \times 10^9 \text{ kWh/year}
  2. Calculate the annual per capita electricity consumption.

    Per capita consumption is calculated by dividing the total grid generation by the population.
    Given population = 200 million = 200×106200 \times 10^6 people.

    Per capita consumption=Total grid generationPopulation\text{Per capita consumption} = \frac{\text{Total grid generation}}{\text{Population}} Per capita consumption=32×109 kWh/year200×106 people\text{Per capita consumption} = \frac{32 \times 10^9 \text{ kWh/year}}{200 \times 10^6 \text{ people}} Per capita consumption=32×103 kWh/year200 people\text{Per capita consumption} = \frac{32 \times 10^3 \text{ kWh/year}}{200 \text{ people}} Per capita consumption=32000 kWh/year200 people\text{Per capita consumption} = \frac{32000 \text{ kWh/year}}{200 \text{ people}} Per capita consumption=160 kWh/person/year\text{Per capita consumption} = 160 \text{ kWh/person/year}

    Nigeria's annual per capita electricity consumption is 160 kWh\text{160 kWh}.
