Abstract:

To close the gap between the 45–75% of Nigerians who lack access to environmentally friendly energy, the goal of this study is to investigate the potentials of renewable energy sources in Nigeria and how to support, promote, and empower the growth of renewable energy resources in Nigeria. Renewable energy solutions are fantastic and excellent since they are endless. We won't run out of them like we might with fossil fuels, which are Nigeria's main energy sources. Nigeria will adapt and move towards the usage of renewable energy sources as a result of a number of factors, not only the depletion of fossil resources. Climate change is a result of carbon emissions and environmental pollution. The empirical portion of the study included two distinct research methodologies. The structured questionnaire survey was initially conducted. Moreover, interviews were conducted. Both study techniques were effective in examining Nigeria's energy status and yielding trustworthy data. The empirical findings show that there are serious energy issues. The research's key finding is that Nigeria's renewable energy resources have an energy potential that is over 1.5 times greater than that of its fossil fuel resources. The best option for the crisis would be solar energy, followed by biomass and hydro, which also have significant potentials to improve and have an impact on Nigeria's low level of electricity, with a focus on rural areas, through the adoption and use of these renewable energy resources for sustainable development.
