Abstract: Development and advancement of any nation depend on the accessibility of reliable electric power energy. Global radiations obtained in this study are higher with mean value of 22.90 MJm-2 and the measured value 21.39 MJm-2 which shows the presence of high global solar energy potential in Mubi. The energy distribution density with August having the highest value of 30048.52 joules and January having the lowest value of 2010.07 joules, this is due to the average mean wind speed, the power distribution density with August having the highest value of 40.39W/m^2 and January having the lowest value 2.70W/m^2. The site has been found to have great potentials for wind and solar utility power generation capacity. The global solar radiation intensity predicted in this study can also be utilized in design, analysis and performance estimation of solar energy systems, which is gaining significant attention.
