Review of barriers to the dissemination of decentralized renewable energy systems (2016, background): “…as a barrier to the diffusion of DRES (Painuly, 2001; Owen, 2006; Srinivasan, 2008; Mirza et al., 2009; Martin and Rice, 2012; Allen et al., 2008; Kennedy and Basu, 2013; Kennedy and Basu, 2013a; Ohunakin et al., 2014; Balcombe et al., 2013; Ruble and El-Khoury, 2013; Rebane and Barham, 2011).”
Current status and future prospects of renewable energy in Nigeria (2015, background): “Based on these figures, an average of 6,372,613 PJ/year (E1770 thousand TWh/year) of solar energy is estimated to fall on the entire land area of Nigeria [15,50].”
Economic evaluation of hybrid energy systems for rural electrification in six geo-political zones of Nigeria (2015, background): “However, some states/locations in the SoutheWest and SoutheEast regions can readily support decentralized energy projects [23,25].”
