Summary. This study designs an optimal off-grid hybrid renewable energy system for rural healthcare centers across Nigeria's six regions. Researchers evaluated combinations of solar, wind, diesel, and battery systems using technical and economic analysis, including sensitivity testing for fuel subsidy removal. A solar-diesel-battery configuration proved most cost-effective across all locations, delivering 70-80% renewable energy with energy costs between $0.51-0.54 per kilowatt-hour.
