Renewable energy development as a solution to rural electrification in Nigeria
The ratio of electricity generated through renewable energy sources in developing and least developed countries, barring a few, are not at all significant, as due to lack of sophisticated technology and scarce financial resources. The problem of electricity in most of the African countries, despi...

| description |
The ratio of electricity generated through renewable energy sources in developing
and least developed countries, barring a few, are not at all significant, as due to lack
of sophisticated technology and scarce financial resources. The problem of
electricity in most of the African countries, despite having abundance of potential of
wind and intensity of the sun is more than most part of the developing world. Most
of the developing countries, including African countries get renewable energy
between 1 to 3 percent. They squarely depend on gas and coal, with or without
certain alternative energy sources, for power generation. Nigeria is no exception to
this. In this paper, the condition of rural electrification in Nigeria is analysed with
the intention to provide viable solutions for the development and provision of
energy in order to reduce electricity problem among the local communities, to
encourage industries with the help of the government to have some power
generated from renewable energy sources, especially through PV panels, so that the
burden on the central power generation sources could be reduce. The efficient
electricity for the small scale industries via this source will alleviate the massive
unemployment rate in the country. In view of these, the paper also examines the
Nigerian power generation mix and use the idea of energy diversification method
resorting to renewable energy sources readily available in the country in providing
electricity in the Nigerian rural areas.
