Framework for implementing hybrid floating solar-hydropower systems in Nigeria for Sub-Saharan Africa’s energy transition
Sub-Saharan Africa faces severe energy poverty, with approximately 570 million people lacking electricity access despite abundant renewable energy resources. This paradox is particularly evident in Nigeria, where only about 55.4% of its over 200 million population has reliable electricity access, …
