Technical support on the elaboration of the rural electrification master plan of Jigawa State (Northern Nigeria) Villavicencio, Manuel Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Desenvolupament humà i sostenible::Cooperació per al desenvolupament::Projectes de cooperació Rural electrification Rural development--Africa Desenvolupament rural -- Àfrica Electrificació rural 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 harvest are the main local resources to be considered for power generation. It was found that a fuel diversified strategy, considering local available resources, represent a more feasible and ecological alternative than the current strategy based on increasing on-grid diesel capacity, and also improve security against fuel price volatility and eventual supply contingencies. 2012-06 Master thesis http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ Open Access east=9.723267299999975; north=12.4460001; name=Kaugama, Nigèria Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Universitat de Barcelona
