The focus of this study is to provide an all-inclusive wind data characterization for Abakaliki in Ebonyi State of South-East region of Nigeria and to evaluate its potential wind energy generation to ascertain if wind energy could be a practical source of electricity in that region. A 10-years period (2012-2021) wind speed dataset obtained at 10 m anemometer height was collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency. The Weibull distribution model was used to analyse the wind speed data. According to the findings, April had the most potential for wind energy capture, while November had the lowest. Important Weibull shape and scale values were found in the investigation, indicating a narrow range of constant wind speeds without the severe turbulence or erratic gusts that are frequently observed elsewhere. At 10 m, the maximum wind speed recorded was 2.56 m/s in 2015, while the minimum was 2.13 m/s in 2014, with an average over the decade being 2.25 m/s. The power density was notably responsive to changes in wind speed, varying from a low value of 5.92 W/m2 in 2014 to a peak value of 10.28 W/m2 in 2015, with an average decadal power density of 7.01 W/m2 and the maximum energy output was 90.05 (K W/m2).h in 2015. Average wind speeds, power densities, and energy outputs increased with increase in height (altitude). Thus, at 100 m, the average wind speed, average power density and energy output are 3.56 m/s, 27.63 W/m2 and 242.04 (K W/m2).h respectively. Conclusively, this study highlighted the potential of small-scale wind turbines for use in household electrification and agriculture.
