At present, only 10% of rural households and 40% of the
country's total population have access to electricity. The Nigerian
Energy Commission and the Solar Energy Society of Nigeria have
been tasked with generating a standalone solar-powered solution
for the remote rural dwellers. The country is looking towards
further development of the hydropower resources and other
renewable energies such as wind, solar and biomass to close the
generation shortfall and foster the economic growth. The level of
utilization of Nigeria's RE resources requires serious attention to
salvage the country from a looming energy crisis.
