Assessments of Wind‐Energy Potential in Selected Sites from Three Geopolitical Zones in Nigeria: Implications for Renewable/Sustainable Rural Electrification

Joshua Olusegun Okeniyi, Olayinka S. Ohunakin, Elizabeth Toyin Okeniyi · 2015 · The Scientific World JOURNAL

Summary. Wind energy can provide affordable rural electrification across Nigeria's three major geopolitical zones. Analysis of wind-speed data from Katsina, Warri, and Calabar shows that even low wind-speed sites can generate electricity at economically viable costs—ranging from €0.0507 to €0.0819 per kWh—making wind turbines a practical renewable solution for electrifying remote rural communities.
