Why Wind Energy is Essential Now
Unlocking Nigeria’s Untapped Wind Potential
The global installed capacity of wind energy has surpassed 1,136 gigawatts (GW), showcasing its rapid expansion worldwide.
Nigeria's National Integrated Energy Plan (NIEP) sets an ambitious target of 25 gigawatts (GW) for wind energy, signaling a commitment to integrating renewable sources into the energy mix.
The hybridisation of wind and solar energy presents additional opportunities for enhancing energy generation efficiency.
Africa holds a remarkable wind energy potential of 59,000 gigawatts (GW), which remains largely untapped.
Progress to Date
Our Impact in Action
Through collaboration, research, and strategic partnerships, NWEC is laying the foundation for Nigeria’s wind energy transformation.
From national policy support to state-level implementation, our work is shaping a future powered by clean, sustainable, and accessible energy for all.
