Nigeria has significant potential for renewable energy but currently relies heavily on thermal sources. Gas is presented as the preferred fuel for expanding electricity generation due to its cost advantages and the large reserves being flared. The document outlines Nigeria's renewable energy policies and plans to develop hydro, solar and biomass resources to diversify the energy mix and increase access to electricity nationally.

What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly.
In its various forms, it derives directly or indirectly from the sun, or from heat
generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is energy generated from
solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower and ocean resources, and biofuels
, , ,g , y p ,
and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. (IEA)
Renewable energy resources: Energy resources that are naturally replenishing but
flow-limited. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount
of energy that is available per unit of time. Renewable energy resources include:
biomass, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, ocean thermal, wave action, and tidal
action. (EIA)
Renewable electricity refers to electric power obtained from energy sources
whose utilization does not result in the depletion of the earths resources.
Renewable electricity also includes energy sources and technologies that have
minimal environmental impacts, such as less intrusive hydro and certain biomass
combustion. These sources of electricity normally will include solar energy, wind,
biomass co-generation and gasification, hydro, geothermal, tide, wave and
hydrogen energy. ( i i Renewable Energy Policy)
