The data set consists of the hourly load demand, hourly solar irradiance and hourly wind speed of a community located in Northern part of Nigeria named Bara, Kirfi Local Government area of Bauchi state, Nigeria. The hourly solar resource data and wind resource data of the community for a period of one year is obtained from an existing database of the Power Data Access Viewer of National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA).

Data repository for solar and meteorological ground measurements from a network of weather stations in West Africa. The data is provided in the framework of the West African Power Pool project: "Solar Development in Sub-Saharan Africa - Solar resource measurement campaign in West Africa”. Funding is provided by World Bank. Measurement Date Range: Bauchi: 2021-09-20 – 2023-09-19 Kano: 2021-09-10 – 2023-09-09

The African renewable energy market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing energy demand, declining renewable energy technology costs, and supportive government policies aimed at diversifying energy sources and reducing carbon emissions. A CAGR exceeding 8% indicates a significant expansion projected through 2033, with the market size in 2025 estimated to be substantial, considering the current growth trajectory and the considerable untapped potential across the continent. Key drivers include the need for reliable and affordable electricity in underserved areas, the abundance of solar and wind resources, and a growing awareness of climate change mitigation. While challenges remain, such as grid infrastructure limitations and financing hurdles, these are being addressed through public-private partnerships and innovative financing mechanisms. The market is segmented geographically, with South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and Nigeria representing significant contributors due to their relatively developed infrastructure and proactive government initiatives. However, Ethiopia and Algeria also show promising growth potential, fueled by their substantial renewable energy resources and ongoing investment in new projects. The diverse renewable energy sources—solar, wind, hydropower, and others—cater to varying geographical conditions and energy needs across the continent. Leading players in this market include international and local companies specializing in project development, energy generation, and technology provision, reflecting the increasing competition and opportunities within this rapidly expanding sector. The continued expansion of the African renewable energy market is expected to be fueled by several factors. First, increased investment from international development organizations and private equity firms is driving the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. Second, growing demand for electricity from a rapidly expanding population and industrial sector is creating significant opportunities for renewable energy providers. Third, technological advancements are leading to lower costs for renewable energy technologies, making them increasingly competitive with fossil fuels. Finally, supportive government policies, such as feed-in tariffs and renewable energy mandates, are creating a favorable investment climate. While challenges such as grid infrastructure limitations and access to finance persist, the overall outlook remains highly positive, promising substantial economic development and environmental benefits for the African continent. Recent developments include: In July 2022, Infinity Group and the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) agreed to purchase Lekela Power, the largest pure-play renewable IPP operating in Africa. The transaction is valued at an enterprise value of approximately USD 1.5 billion, with closing expected to occur later in 2022. The purchase is expected to bring Lekela's portfolio of more than 1GW of wind power across three African countries and its 1.8GW pipeline of greenfield projects into Infinity. It makes Infinity the largest renewable energy company in Africa., In February 2022, Magnora ASA, a Norwegian renewable energy company, acquired a 92% share of South African solar and onshore wind project developer African Green Ventures (AGV). It aims to increase its local renewables pipeline to about 1.7 GW from 850 MW. AGV owns the rights for over 800 MW wind and solar PV projects, having recently signed several land lease option agreements., In September 2021, Eskom announced plans to invest USD 7.3 billion in renewable energy over the next nine years. The investment plan is developed in three phases. In the plan's first phase, which is expected to be implemented over the next two years, relatively small-scale solar PV plants will be built on the sites of former coal stations in Arnot, Duvha, Lethabo, Majuba and Tutuka. The plant has a total capacity of 246 MW. The second phase is due to be implemented between 2023 and 2025, with a 600 MW PV plant added to the 100 MW Sere wind farm in the Western Cape and a 750 MW CSP facility to be built in Olyvenhoutsdriftin the Northern Cape. The third phase of Eskom's plan, which is less detailed, aims to add 3 GW of solar capacity and 3.1 GW of wind power between 2025 and 2030.. Notable trends are: Solar Energy is Expected to be the Significant Market.

Climate dataset (Daily Rainfall Data, Daily Minimum and Maximum Temperature, Daily Relative Humidity and Daily Solar Radiation) for 1986 - 2015 for Ibadan, Nigeria was obtained from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency in raw format and then processed for the study.
