Abstract
A pertinent need for sustainable and clean energy cannot be overstated. This is significant to the point that it is listed as one of the sustainable development goals. It is expected that by 2030, there will be universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services. Questions arise when this goal is discussed. Nigeria, as a nation fits into the category of developing nation. The supply of energy falls below the demand and therefore energy provision still poses a major challenge to the populace and even business owners. One of the ways of meeting up with this target is by retrofitting of the existing structures and this is already practiced in developed regions. This paper provides a study of literature to build facts on how the practice of retrofitting can improve the livelihood and standard of living of people thereby making the goal achievable in the target time.
