Energy Landscape and Renewable Energy Resources in Nigeria: A Review

Renewable energy resource utilisation is becoming more prevalent in society and can be a sustainable method to meet rising demand consumption. The International Energy Agency reports that presently, approximately 33% of total electricity output around the world from renewable sources. However, Nigeria, World Bank reported this figure as 18.2% 2015. It important understand how Nigeria raise average moves towards less use fossil fuels. Therefore, aim work was provide review established literature, which then used support development systems Nigeria. methodology employed for study literature involved systematic method, including identification, screening, eligibility inclusion criterium steps. Understanding national landscape essential potential projects, consequently, supply, consumption are observed. examined sources with focus on solar biomass/bioenergy. levelised cost technologies analysed, paper identified evaluated past projects centered biomass, presenting three main case studies. results indicate biomass have most generation 4–6.5 kWh/m2 irradiation available per day 2.3 × 109 GJ bioenergy year. PV currently interest due lower on-grid electricity, comfortably compete Nevertheless, costs still need lowered fully. Finally, findings also there an omission surrounding existing
