“…According to [16], Nigeria power sector has one of the highest transmission and distribution losses in the world. Majority of the rural population rely on diesel generator leading to environmental pollution and inflation in the prices of goods and services [17]. This poor electricity supply has been a barrier to private investment in the country [18].…”

The ever-increasing population and growing demand for electricity in Nigeria has put great pressure on the existing conventional generations and there is urgent need for other alternative energy resources. Localised energy systems which have been prevalent in the UK and Europe remain the most viable solution to tackle the pressing challenges of lack of reliable, environmentally friendly and sustainable electricity supply in Nigeria. However, the implementation of localised energy system might face some challenges and barriers that could hamper the development. In this paper, these challenges were analysed and possible solutions were suggested, in order to facilitate the growth of localised energy systems in Nigeria. Aside solving electricity related problems integration of localised energy systems will also help to provide jobs for the youth and create new investment opportunities for the people.

The present crisis of electricity supply in Nigeria is adversely affecting its economy. The population is growing and life is getting more difficult for the citizens. Nigeria is rich in renewable energy sources, such as solar, biomass, thermal, wind, geothermal, tidal, hydro, biogas, wave, and ocean energy. However, less than 25% of the renewable energy potentials have been utilized. A critical investment in a renewable energy sector will not only solve electricity related problems but also help to achieve social-economy development in the country. In addition, renewable energy projects will help to provide jobs for the youth and create new investment opportunities for the people.

“…However, interruptions which sometimes may be unavoidable, tends to negate this trend. Hence, the needs for reliability assessment of power system components in ensuring continuity of power supply to cope with the increasing teeming population and the need for rapid industrial growth [4], [5]. Identifying the problems will indeed enable the power utility companies to take the necessary steps in improving the reliability of the system.…”

The major goal of power system is to ensure continuous supply of electricity at declared service quality to meet up with the demand of its customers. However, interruptions which sometimes may be unavoidable, tends to negate this trend. Identifying the problems will indeed enable the power utility companies to take the necessary steps in improving the reliability of the system. This paper used load point and customer-oriented reliability indices to evaluate the performance of the four distribution feeders within Ado-Ekiti metropolis, Nigeria, in order to identify the major causes of the frequent power supply outages and also suggested ways of improving its performance. Relevant outage data were collected from the supply utility-Benin Electricity Distribution Company of Nigeria (BEDC) daily operational logbooks from January 2021 to December 2021. Some of the data gathered were outage frequencies, fault durations, causes of outages, age of distribution transformers and number of customers on each of the feeders. Quantitative method of reliability indices was used to estimate and compare the performance of the feeders. The average availability (%) for the investigated period is 86.23%, 92.68%, 90.18% and 91.25% for Ajilosun, Basiri, Okesa and Adebayo feeders respectively. The results showed that almost all the feeders are not reliable. The study will enable the utility company in making informed decisions that will improve the reliability of the feeders and thereby facilitating effective monitoring to enhance optimum performance.
