The
Honourable Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Raji Fashola (SAN) recent
exhortation to the Discos to conduct energy audit for their customer base is
instructive and imperative in the drive to make Nigeria achieve sustainability
especially in power resources. Without credible energy audit exercises conducted
on Nigerian electricity consumers to know for certain how much energy is
demanded, then the dream to generate 10, 000 Megawatts of electricity as
envisioned by the present administration could be a pipe dream.
Why did I
say this? It is a general rule in art of planning that you should never
estimate when you can calculate. To estimate the energy demand of a class of
customer and then plan for the supply, distribution and usage of such customer’s
electricity demand without knowing exactly their demand would definitely result
in inefficient management of such energy. This is because energy usage is
dynamic and fluctuates with every period of usage. As a matter of fact, there
can never be two exact energy usage from
two different customers and this why it is always recommended that energy
audit be conducted to know for certain energy demand and usage patterns of
electricity users.
The essence
of energy audit is to have credible data on which to plan efficiently for
electricity distribution and exploitation. This data will give experts informed
decisions on what, when, how and why
electricity is consumed in order to advance solutions to power problems. At Zeus Energy Limited, we offer energy
audit services to our clients using global standards and instrumentation to
proffer solutions to their energy challenges like current overload, electricity
spike, generator sizing, solar PV sizing and more. With credible energy data
made available through energy audit, our clients are made better managers of
their energy.
Let me ask you a question: What is your
personal energy demand per day? I am sure you have no idea. Lol. That is why
you need to pay us a visit and conduct an energy audit for yourself. Knowing
your energy demand would make you a smart manager of your energy any day,
anytime. Be green.
See you soon.
