Advancing grid-connected wind and solar energy adoption in Nigeria: exploring the dynamics of socio-technical transitions.

Adedokun, Racheal; Strachan, Peter strachan; Singh, Anita

Abstract

The project examines the existing dynamics of the uptake of renewable energy on the national grid in Nigeria by investigating the barriers, drivers, and enablers to transitions. Findings show Inefficiencies in the incumbent regime deterring penetration of niche innovation on the Nigerian grid. Removing these barriers is critical to transforming the electricity system into a sustainable one.
