The nation most identified with its massive oil reserves is turning to wind and solar to generate power at home and help extend the life of its crucial crude franchise.

Starting this year, Saudi Arabia plans to develop almost 10 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2023, starting with wind and solar plants in its vast northwestern desert. The effort could replace the equivalent of 80,000 barrels of oil a day now burned for power. Add in natural gas projects set to start later this decade, and the Saudis could quadruple that number, according to consultant Wood MacKenzie Ltd. That could supplant all the crude burned in the kingdom during its winter months.
The effort goes hand-in-hand with a drive by the royal family to broaden the economy following two years of budget deficits tied to low oil prices. More industry, though, means more energy, with the amount of power used at peak times growing by 10 percent in the last year alone.

ENERGY. is a basic for human development. Little wonder Goal 7 of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) targets the provision of reliable, affordable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. The targets within this goal are massive considering that billions of people worldwide living without access to modern, affordable and reliable energy services.

According to the 2013 World Energy Outlook report, it was estimated that 1.2 billion people

Solar power is the surest way to generate your own power 24/7 without any blackout.

Solar power energy is what Nigerians should be aiming at investing due to its reliability as Electricity Generation Companies (GenCos) says they have not been paid for their services by the Nigeria Electricity Bulk Trader in the last three months and as a result are ready to grind everything to a halt.

According to Sunday Vanguard in Abuja, the situation of unsettled invoices would spell doom for the economy as operators were already considering shutting down their plants across Nigeria. A source also told Vanguard that:

Power supply saga in Nigeria-When God created the world, according to the Bible, it was dark. God said,

Solar power energy is the future; this is another reason to go solar. LATEST survey report by the Independent Energy Watch Initiative, I-WIN, has revealed that power supply had been on consistent decline, month-on-month.

According to the report, between January and June last year, only an average of about six percent of Nigerians enjoyed over twenty hours (20hrs) of supply availability daily.

The survey which was anchored on the feedback from electricity customers in Nigeria, was aimed at assessing the overall performance of the Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs).

The survey evaluation was based on the following indices:
