Summary. Rural healthcare facilities in Nigeria suffer from unreliable electricity supply. This paper designs hybrid renewable energy systems combining solar, wind, and diesel generation with the existing grid to reliably power six rural health centers. Optimized configurations achieve very low energy costs between $0.06 and $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, with solar and wind providing the majority of power at all locations.
