Abstract: The issue of electric power supply in the country has been a great concern because of incessant Electric power in the country. This study shows how wind electric power system can be achieved in Ekpoma. Wind electric turbine was designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The average wind speed in each day was recorded. The highest wind speed recorded was 120 mph and the lowest wind speed recorded was 90 mph. The gross total for each month was also recorded. The highest total wind speed was 3,262 mph and it was recorded for the month of January. The output of the generator, voltage = 220 V, current = 13.9 A, frequency = 50 Hz, power 8 kW. This research will be of benefit to independent electric power producers and investors who would want to invest in wind electric power generation (wind farm).
