Abstract: This study evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of green energy projects for power generation in Rivers State, Nigeria. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing renewable energy initiatives, policy frameworks, and implementation challenges, this research examines the current state of green energy adoption in the region. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative data analysis and qualitative assessments of stakeholder perspectives. Findings revealed significant potential for renewable energy development in Rivers State, particularly in solar, wind, and biomass sectors, though implementation faces considerable challenges including inadequate funding, policy inconsistencies, and technical capacity limitations. The research concludes that while green energy projects show promise for addressing Rivers State's power generation needs, successful implementation requires coordinated efforts among government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and international development partners. Consequently, it was recommended that a dedicated renewable energy agency should be established, feed-in tariffs should be implemented, and comprehensive training programs for technical personnel should be developed.
