The main purpose this study to evaluate the wind energy production, using bihourly data collected at 10 m above ground level over a period of fifteen years from 2005 to 2019 for the localities, Garoua and Guider. Wind energy can significantly contribute to the energy mix, mainly during the dry season (March, April and May) when energy demands highly rise and load shedding can last forever, mainly in rural or remotes locations. However, aging dam and distribution network leading to frequent load shedding, are contributing factors to look for other environmentally friendly alternatives such as wind power to sustain the energy needs of the region. The North Region of Cameroon is home to a 72 MW hydroelectric dam, which provides electricity beyond the region’s needs.
