Data and information about power plants in Nigeria plotted on an interactive map.
Wind turbine generation is another developing energy source in Nigeria. Wind speeds in Nigeria typically range from 2–9.5 m/s. With such low wind speeds, investments and interest in wind energy have not been as high as solar power. However, wind power could be advantageous to rural and agricultural areas.
Consequently, the huge expanse between the wind energy Potential across Cities in Nigeria, the poor numbers of installed wind capacity and Nigeria's Renewable Energy policies show low interest in Wind Energy in comparison to other RE sources. All this calls for further investment in the Nigerian wind energy sector
There are two forms of power stations in Nigeria and they are; hydro and Gas. There are currently twenty-eight (28) grid-connected power stations in Nigeria. Egbin thermal plant has been the largest Gas plant, while the Mambilla power plant is the biggest hydroelectric power station but is still under construction.
Nigeria has 13 utility-scale power plants in operation, with a total capacity of 6260.0 MW. This data is a derivitive set of data gathered by source mentioned below. Data and information about power plants in Nigeria plotted on an interactive map.
