In this study, the integration of wind energy into Sule Tan-Kar-Kar Town’s energy mix in Jigawa State, Nigeria, is found to be feasible. Anemometry data, collected at various altitudes, and historical climate data indicate favorable wind speeds and patterns for energy production. Geographical surveys, coupled with GIS technology, identified suitable turbine sites, while wind simulation software estimated a significant annual energy output of 120,500 MWh for a proposed 10 MW wind farm. Statistical analyses suggest that wind energy could meet 40% of the town’s energy needs. Financial projections show a 12-year payback period and a 150% ROI over the turbines’ 20-year lifespan, with environmental assessments confirming a minimal ecological footprint and a substantial CO2 emission reduction of 20,000 tons annually. The study concludes that wind energy integration is a viable, sustainable, and economically beneficial solution for the town, aligning with sustainability goals and serving as a model for other communities
