: The study examined factors that influence farmer’s awareness to renewable energy adoption in south-south Nigeria. The result showed that (44.09%) of respondents had high RE awareness, (27.80%) had medium awareness level about RE while (28.12%) of the respondent had low-level RE awareness. The empirical results from the analysis revealed that age, educational level and extension visit were significant at 1% level, cooperative membership was significant at 5% level while farm size and farm experience were significant at 10% level of probability. The result of the marginal effect analysis showed that the likelihood of being in the high, medium and low RE awareness group increases with increase in age, farm size, farm experience, cooperative membership and extension visit. The study therefore recommended that all relevant stakeholders should strive to provide farmers with renewable energy related extension messages.
