Summary. This paper reviews hybrid off-grid power systems combining gas generators, solar photovoltaic systems, and energy storage for rural electrification in Nigeria's oil-producing regions. Using Uzere in Delta State as a case study, the authors analyze technical and economic challenges of deploying these systems and examine simulation tools like HOMER Pro for optimizing hybrid solutions. The review identifies sustainable, cost-effective approaches to electrify similar rural communities.
