The potential of the use of hybrid PV-Battery-Diesel generator for household in the rural oil producing communities in the Niger Delta of Nigeria is presented. The analysis was done by the optimum configuration of the hybrid system through top-ranked system configuration, according to the Net Present Cost (NPC) in the HOMER platrform. The optimal system delivers the best components alongside appropriate operating strategies to provide the most efficient, reliable cost -effective system possible. The system investigate reduces CO2 emissions by 28.2%/year. The implementation of the hybrid RES will, therefore, reduce the emission level of the over-polluted Niger Delta region by the activities of oil producing companies and the use of standalone diesel generators. The system has a better potential for providing the energy needs of the households in the oil producing communities as compared to a standalone Diesel system as net present cost is reduced by 17%. However, reliabilty of power supply is assured with the hybrid RES
