According to a recent study by IRENA Wind potential in Nigeria is moderate with wind speeds at height of 100m (adopted 100m because average height of a wind turbine is 80-100m) ranging from 2.1 m/s to 8 m/s. Wind speeds are higher in the northern part of Nigeria with values above of 6.0 m/s, especially between April and August while wind speed in the southern states is relatively low with values of 3 m/s. Further estimates by IRENA show that the technical potential for wind is 3.2GW considering only 1% of suitable land can be used for wind project developments.
