| − | |HPNET name=A GIS-based Approach for Electrification Planning - A Case Study on Nigeria
| |
| − | |HPNET description=According to the latest Global Tracking Framework (2015), 18% of the global and 57% of the African population
| |
| − | live without access to electricity services—a key impediment towards social and economic growth. Accelerating
| |
| − | access to electricity requires, inter alia, strategies and programmes that effectively address and account for the
| |
| − | geographical, infrastructural and socioeconomic characteristics of a country or region. This paper focuses on considering
| |
| − | these characteristics by developing a Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based methodology to inform
| |
| − | electrification planning and strategies. The methodology is applied to Nigeria in order to identify the
| |
| − | optimal mix of electrification options, ranging from grid extensions to mini-grid and off-grid solutions. The
| |
| − | case study illustrates how this optimal mix is influenced by a range of parameters—including population density,
| |
| − | existing and planned transmission networks and power plants, economic activities, tariffs for grid-based electricity,
| |
| − | technology costs for mini-grid and off-grid systems and fuel costs for consumers. For a certain level of energy
| |
| − | access, on-grid connections would be optimal for the majority of the new connections in Nigeria; grid extension
| |
| − | constitutes the lowest cost option for approximately 86% of the newly electrified population in this modelling effort
| |
| − | with 2030 as the time horizon. However, there are some remote areas with low population densities where a
| |
| − | mini-grid or a stand-alone solution are the most economic options; deploying some combination of solar, wind,
| |
| − | hydro and diesel technologies depending on the locational resource availability.
