Abstract: An assessment study on the wind power potential of Kano has been made. It has been shown that the wind speed distribution of Kano is very suitable and economical for utility-scale power generation. At a height ≥80 m, a Neg Micon NM 82 turbine may generate at least 40% of its installed capacity at any particular instance. A utility-scale wind farm made of 20 Neg Micon NM 82 wind turbines installed at 100 m in Kano may generate about 338,400 kw h of electricity daily and can service about 112,800 homes each consuming at most, 3 kw h of electricity daily. With this generation capacity such a wind farm can recover its investment cost within its lifetime at competitive unit costs of electricity with those supplies from the fossil fired power stations. Hence, the possibility of wind generated electricity in Nigeria.
