Renewable Energy for Overcoming the Dilemma of Darkness in Nigerian Urban Centers by Yeken A. Sanusi

“…The study also shows that 72% of the households use fossil fuel-driven plants while 84% are not familiar with the use of renewable resources for generating electricity. The paper holds that the willingness of the public to switch to renewable energy, the incremental nature of urban development, and the high costs incurred by households for non-sustainable alternative sources of electricity provide the foundation for a more concerted effort to develop renewable energy as a means of improving the availability of electricity in Nigerian urban centers.…”
