Renewable technologies have been on the rise worldwide
through renewable energy FiTs. As of 2012, 65 countries have
implemented some form of a FiT [59], driving 64% of global wind
installations and 87% of the photovoltaic capacity that has been
installed worldwide [63]. While the majority of these installations
have occurred in industrialized countries, particularly in Europe,
USA, and China, the African continent, and Nigeria in particular,
still have significant untapped RE potential.
