This pattern of attack has recurred throughout the north-central, north-east and north-west geopolitical zones.
Each of the articles cited above demonstrated that Nigeria can employ wind resources for power generation across studied sites and geopolitical zones.
In this study, wind turbine performance assessment and economic analysis of selected commercial WECS were examined across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
Data for the study were obtained from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency, covering 12 sites, spread across the six geopolitical zones, for a period between 1987 and 2010.
The selected sites (Kano, Bauchi, Minna, Iseyin, Owerri, and Uyo) were found in previous works to be the best wind representative for each of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria[5, 6, 7, 8, 9].
Electricity cost values were estimated based on the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and present value cost (PVC) methods for six locations selected across all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
