Abstract
An analysis of Nigeria’s electricity supply problems and prospectsfound that the electricity demand in Nigeria far outstrips the supply,which is epileptic in nature. The acute electricity supply hinders thecountry’s development, notwithstanding the availability of vast naturalresources in the country. Nigeria is endowed with abundant renewableenergy resources, the significant ones being solar energy, biomass, wind,small and large hydropower with the potential for hydrogen fuel, geo-thermal and ocean energies. Decentralized energy is the production ofelectricity at or near the point of use, irrespective of size, fuel or technol-ogy. The adoption of renewable energy technologies in a decentralizedenergy manner, especially for rural communities and in stand-aloneapplications, will improve electricity supply and enhance the overalleconomic development.
