Abstract: This research work is on the Design and Analysis of a Microgrid system for a Reliable electrification in Eziobodo. It harnesses the available renewable energy resources in Eziobodo community in order to achieve a sustainable off-grid electricity. The methods used in achieving this included the use of Homer Pro Software to collate data such as monthly rainfall, sunlight and wind speed. The Homer Pro software allows the researchers to key in the location of the research, parameters of interest (renewable energies) and then relates them to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) database. Thereafter, the software has inbuilt renewable energy components which are used in building up the system online. At the end, it suggests the best for deployment. The resources were downloaded based on the location (Owerri) of this design. It was observed from the simulation result that the peak load monthly consumption was July. By summing the individual load profile of each building in chapter 3, a total of 40.6409kw/day was realized. This simply means that the energy resources available in the location of this design must produce enough energy to run the available loads seamlessly. And from the Homer pro design schematic, 64.80kwh/d was realized which was more than enough to power buildings having a total load consumption of 40.6409kw/day.
