Technical support on the elaboration of the rural electrification master plan of Jigawa State (Northern Nigeria)

Jigawa State, with a rural population of 85% and 20% of electricity access among other basic services deficiencies, is one of the poorest states of Nigeria. The electrification targets of the state were assessed from a decentralized approach. Solar potential, biomass residues and Jatropha Curcas har...
