Nigeria has 165 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 63 tracked facilities, ranking #110 of 222 countries in this atlas.
Solar dominates: 94% of the operating capacity (155 MW) comes from solar parks, against 10 MW of wind.
The pipeline is substantial: 0 MW under construction and 2.5 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 1,518% of today’s operating fleet.
About 112 MW (68%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2023, with 52 MW commissioned.
The largest concentrations are in Kaduna State (32 MW), Kano State (24 MW), Snake Island Integrated Free Zone (20 MW).
