The data include results of the electrification modeling for the five Nigerian Federal States Cross River, Niger, Ogun, Plateau and Sokoto. Non-electrified village clusters were identified and a load was estimated. Small clusters with a low demand (demand <50kW) were assigend stand-alone solutions, while for the cluster with a larger demand techno-economically optimized hybrid mini-grids were contrasted to grid extension. Grid extension considers topography and existing infrastructure such as roads to identify a realistic grid extension pathway. Results included in the data set show identified clusters and electrification option created for a three-phased rural electrification approach towards 100% electrification and the respective grid development.
