Effect of Inadequate Electrification on Nigeria’s Economic Development and Environmental Sustainability

In this study, the impact of electricity crisis on economic growth Nigeria is presented. Unlike other existing studies that checked effect consumption development or environmental sustainability for different countries, present study will further a techno-economic analysis proffered solution to imminent crisis. Time-series regression models are used analyze and while RETScreen professional software perform determine feasibility 500-kW microgrid Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system integrated generation. From results, strong positive correlation evident between GNI, as well negative gross domestic savings. Also, effects in case carbon emissions by buildings, power industry, combustion industries Nigeria. Considering net value, internal rate return payback periods, use solar PV systems generation feasible 12 locations studied research. The most area installation northern part Gombe Kaduna recorded simple PBP an equity 6.3 years 7.4 respectively.
