Abstract:
This study seeks to explore the viability of the Small Hydropower potentials for rural electrification in Nigeria. The study analysed the small hydropower potentials in Ogun watershed using geospatial techniques (Hydrology, Neighbourhood analysis, Watershed analysis) and descriptive statistics to describe the population and energy dynamics of the study area. The study identified a total of 137 potential hydropower sites with a minimum energy potential of 502 kw and maximum of 5.80 mw. Ogun watershed has 202200kW of potential energy is expected to support the electricity need of 59,471 rural households across ten local government areas in Ogun watershed. The study concludes that with the abundant water resources available in the country, small hydropower plants are viable option for reducing the energy deficit of the country and can also help in the attainment of sustainable development goals 7 (universal energy access for all).
