Abstract

University campuses in developing nations face critical energy sustainability challenges, with implications for academic performance, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship. This study examines the development of a comprehensive renewable energy policy framework for Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Nigeria, which currently consumes 6.0 MW of electricity with frequent disruptions from the national grid. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed energy consumption patterns across 180 facilities, assessed renewable energy potential through solar irradiation data (average 16.68 MJ/m² per day for Ile-Ife region), and evaluated stakeholder perceptions through surveys (n=425) and interviews (n=35). Quantitative analysis revealed peak energy demand of 7.2 MW during academic sessions, with significant inefficiencies in aging infrastructure (68% of electrical systems over 30 years old). Cost-benefit analysis demonstrates that a hybrid solar-grid system could reduce energy costs by 42% (approximately ₦420 million annually) while achieving carbon emission reductions of 4,200 tonnes CO₂ equivalent per year. The proposed policy framework integrates technical specifications, financial mechanisms, and governance structures to achieve 60% renewable energy penetration by 2030. Statistical analysis using regression modeling (R²=0.87) identified key predictors of energy consumption, while geospatial assessment confirmed optimal solar panel placement sites covering 12,000 m². This research contributes to sustainable energy transition strategies for higher education institutions in sub-Saharan Africa, providing a replicable model for energy policy development and implementation.
