Kebbi state is a region in Northern Nigeria blessed with reasonable resources potentials of both solar and wind energy, but faced with lot of crises of energy supply and distributions due to improper distribution network as results of systems collapse and inadequate utilization of the renewable energy resources such as wind and Solar. This study assesses wind and solar resources in three selected locations of Kebbi state (Argungu, Jega, and Yauri) from the three different senatorial districts across the state using NASA POWER data from 2000 to 2022 and the HOMER optimisation tool, a hybrid renewable system was created for a rural community. The goal was to keep the Net Present Cost (NPC) and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) as low as possible while keeping the capacity deficit below 1%. The solar resource assessment shows a lot of promise. The average global horizontal irradiance ranges from 4.80 to 5.68 kWh/m²/day in Yauri and from 5.30 to 5.88 kWh/m2/day in Argungu and Jega 5.30 to 5.88 kWh/m²/day in Argungu and Jega. The wind resources are not too good, average speeds at 50 m height are between 2.83 and 3.17 m/s for all the selected locations. The results of the optimisation show that a PV-battery-converter hybrid system being the best option for all the selected locations. Wind turbines aren’t the best because they don’t work well in low wind speeds. The study revealed that solar PV-battery systems are a technically feasible and cost-effective way to deploy electricity to rural areas in Kebbi State. This gives policymakers and investors a data-driven way to use decentralized renewable energy as compliment to the national grid.
