Abstract
As a result of the ironic pressing energy insufficiency challenges in the Nigerian power sector and the looming effects of global climate change, the need arises for engineers to design and implement reliable renewable energy systems to mitigate the duo. This paper proffers the Green Village Electricity Project as a suitable model for providing off-grid solar electricity to remote settlements in Nigeria while mitigating climate change on a Micro scale. The paper also highlights possible challenges, implementation barriers and operational lessons learnt in embarking on humanitarian energy projects in developing countries of the world. Most importantly, the paper presents a bottom - up scenario of the actual needs/ expectations of the Bottom of the Pyramid inhabitants of rural West Africa towards ensuring the implementation of acceptable and sustainable energy development projects in the region using the Niger-Delta Nigeria as a case study.
