NEON
ChangelogAccess

Who actually decides in Nigeria’s power sector.

Neon maps the institutions, the desks inside them, the posts at each desk, and the official route in. Every row shows its source and the date it was last checked.

Built for the person writing a market-entry study on a deadline, who needs one country answered, not a platform seat.

01/The record is public. It is scattered.

One question, and the answer is not written down in one place.

Who is the right person at the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), at the relevant distribution company, at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), at the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) — and what is the official route to them today.

Every part of that answer has been published by someone. It has not been collected. So the job falls to an analyst with a search engine and three weeks.

01Scattered across the record

Licensee registers, procurement notices, ministry pages, company sites. Each one is public. Nobody reads all of them for one study.

02Company records, not decision routes

A general contact database knows a distribution company exists. It does not know which desk approves a grid connection, or what is filed there.

03Priced for institutions

S&P Global, Wood Mackenzie and Africa Energy sell real West Africa intelligence on enterprise subscriptions. One entry study does not need a platform seat.

Neon is the alternative to those three weeks. One country, one sector, one price.

A routing schematic: institutions and desks drawn as boxes, joined by the routes between them.

Plate — institutions, desks, and the routes between them. Neon writes each of these as a row, and each row carries its source.

02/How a row is built

Here, “verified” is worthless as a claim and decisive as a receipt.

So Neon carries the receipt. A licensee register, a procurement notice, a ministry page, a company’s own site — whatever the row came from is attached to the row, with the date it was last checked beside it.

The source column stays live for a stranger, before any payment. One click lands on the regulator’s own page, showing exactly what the row said. That click is the whole argument.

What Neon reads

Licensee registersThe regulator’s own record of who holds what licence, and for which asset.
Procurement noticesLive tenders and the desk that issued them, with the closing gate.
Ministry and agency pagesMandates, programme rules, and the official application path.
Company pagesA distribution company’s or IPP’s own statement of who handles what.
Project documentsDevelopment-finance filings that name counterparties and their desks.

A Route is an ordered set of Gates

  1. InstitutionThe body that decides
  2. DeskThe function that holds it
  3. Gate 1What is filed, and where
  4. Gate 2Who reviews it next
  5. Gate 3What closes the route

Each Gate names what is filed, where it goes, and the page that says so. Where a gate is not published, Neon marks it absent.

03/The Sample, open on this page

Check us in thirty seconds, before you pay anything.

These are real rows from the pack, not a screenshot. Filter them, open one, and click the source: you land on the regulator’s or the company’s own page. Where a role-holder is not published, the row says so.

Take the Sample as CSV

Brief — ask the Sample a question

Answered only from these 50 rows. The pack answers from all 141.

Neon answers only from its own rows. Every statement carries its source and the date it was last checked. Where there is no source, Brief says so.

Ask about an institution, a Route, or who approves something. Neon answers only from its own rows.

04/The Sweep

A static list decays. An archive of change compounds.

Once a month Neon re-checks every row against the page it came from. Rows that still hold get a new last-checked date. Rows that moved are corrected. Rows whose source has gone are marked absent, not quietly kept.

What changed is published, and buyers get it by email. Sweeps are titled by date, never by version number: Sweep YYYY-MM. A desk that moved before any directory noticed is the point of the whole exercise.

The Changelog, today

2026-08-25 — Build. 141 rows published, 128 read on the institution’s own page, 35 marked Absent.

2026-09-01 — Sweep. Not run yet.

A Sweep Neon has not run is shown as not run. Read the Changelog.

Fresh

The source still says what the row says. New last-checked date.

Changed

The source moved. The row is corrected and the change is published.

Absent

The source is gone, or was never published. Recorded, not guessed.

Those three marks are the only status a row can carry, and they are never used as decoration.

05/Three rules

These rules cost us rows. We keep them anyway.

Rule 1

Nothing is asserted

Every row carries the URL it came from and the date it was last checked. If we cannot show you the source, the row does not ship.

Rule 2

Absent is a value

Where a route is not published, Neon records it as absent and looks again in the next Sweep. We do not fill a gap with a guess.

Rule 3

A wrong row is our cost

If a row is wrong, we fix it within 48 hours. Or we refund you in full within 14 days. No argument.

Two things Neon will not claim: that the first pack is complete before it has been audited, and that a public record exists where it does not.
