Distributed electricity generation promises energy security and rural electrification for Nigeria.
The article discusses the different ways electricity can be generated, either in one central location or spread out in many smaller locations. In Nigeria, where there is a high demand for electricity, factors like energy security, cost, and environmental impact need to be considered when choosing the best generation model. The study suggests that using distributed electricity generation, where power is produced in many smaller locations, could be a good option for Nigeria. This approach can improve energy security, efficiency, and access to clean energy, but it may not automatically reduce emissions.
