RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

Nigeria’s wind capacity is larger than we assumed

New national data identifies over 500GW of viable wind potential across multiple regions.

What the Data Shows

500GW+ Untapped Capacity

Viable wind speeds identified across Plateau, Cross River, and coastal Lagos. This exceeds previous estimates by 300%.

Plateau 10.74 m/s
Ekiti 6.97 m/s
Cross River 7.09 m/s

A New Path to Access

44.6% of households lack electricity. Distributed wind expands reach without waiting for grid extension.

Height Changes Viability

Higher turbine elevations convert marginal locations into commercially viable sites. Our data models hub heights up to 150m, revealing latent potential in previously dismissed territories.

Wind power is real power. The shift from potential to generation starts here.
