Assumptions and evidence tiers

How we classify every claim.

Every figure on this site carries a tier. This page says what each tier means and, for anything marked modelled, what the number is actually based on. If a figure cannot be tiered, we do not publish it.

The five tiers

Evidence tier: Contracted
A signed, binding instrument exists.
Evidence tier: Permitted
Regulatory approval is in hand.
Evidence tier: In development
Site secured and work under way.
Evidence tier: Modelled
Output of a financial or engineering model. Assumptions published.
Evidence tier: Illustrative
Explains a concept. Not a claim about our assets.

Why we do this

We are a development-stage company.

Publishing a large number without saying what it rests on would be easy and worthless. An investment committee's first job is to separate signed from hoped, so we do that work up front and in public. A figure moving from modelled to permitted to contracted is the only progress that counts.

The register

Modelled figures, and what they rest on

All-in delivered power cost

$0.042/kWhEvidence tier: Modelled

Gas cost at wellhead, generation capex recovery over 10 years, O&M, parasitic load, 92% availability. Model v3.

As at August 2026. Financial model v3

Phase-one capacity

5.5MWEvidence tier: In development

Sized to the smallest credible sustained gas volume at the Ughelli site.

As at August 2026. Financial model v3

Identified pipeline

42MWEvidence tier: Modelled

Sum of three identified sites where the group holds or is contracting generation. Not risk-adjusted: this is a gross figure, not probability-weighted.

As at August 2026. Financial model v3

Capex per MW, modular build

$3.3M to 4.4M/MWEvidence tier: Modelled

Modular containerised build, excluding generation which is held at group level. Compares against roughly $11.3M/MW for a conventional Tier III facility.

As at August 2026. Financial model v3

Nigerian grid industrial tariff

$0.09 to 0.13/kWhEvidence tier: Illustrative

Published industrial band tariff, converted at the prevailing rate. Public figure. Updated at each model version.

As at August 2026. Public tariff, model v3

Diesel generation, Lagos

$0.28 to 0.35/kWhEvidence tier: Illustrative

Market diesel price and typical genset efficiency. Market figure. Updated at each model version.

As at August 2026. Market prices, model v3

US merchant power, ERCOT average

$0.03 to 0.05/kWhEvidence tier: Illustrative

Published wholesale average. Included deliberately because it is the least flattering comparison available and an investor will find it regardless. Public figure.

As at August 2026. Published wholesale average

Model v3, last updated August 2026. When the model changes, the version and this date change with it.

What is deliberately not on this site

No capacity we cannot tie to an energy source.

We do not publish a capacity figure we cannot tie to an energy source, a cost we have not modelled, or a date we have not planned to. The previous version of this site displayed a headline figure of 847 MW that was Lagos's forecast peak demand rather than anything belonging to Exusia Digital. That figure is gone and nothing like it will return.
