I am
positively excited and proud to announce to you the conclusion of Energy Management Systems in Industries in
Nigeria (EnMSIN), the first in Sub Sahara Africa, as facilitated by GFA Consulting
Group (Germany) under the sponsorship of GIZ and Nigerian Energy Support
Program (NESP). In 2015 when it kicked off, two Nigerian manufacturers from
Steel and Chemical industries were selected as pilot industries to demonstrate
the sustainability and cost saving economics obtainable from enforcing energy
efficiency standards in Nigerian industries in line with ISO50001.
Our company,
Zeus Energy Limited, participated as a local resource company in the
certification process that required us to supply energy meters by efergy used in the energy audit of the
two industries, plus rendering sundry services. As a premier energy management company in Nigeria with
corporate experience in demand side management, GFA contracted our company to
complement their energy specialists who conducted the critical checks and
audits on the selected industries.
For the august project, our company successfully
supplied energy data such as readings from smart energy meters and thermal
images taken by our lead consultant and other important information that
aggregated to form the report that eventually was used by GFA, partnering with
AENOR, Spanish certification body, to award the ISO50001 certificate to the two
successful Nigerians industries. By this award, Nigeria just entered into
comity of industrialized nations with energy efficiency standard in industries.
I must also
add that Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Nigerian agency charged with
enforcing standards in goods meant for Nigerian consumption, also participated
in this historic venture and would henceforth uphold energy efficiency standards
for Nigerian industries. The essence of institutionalizing ISO 50001 in Nigerian
industries leads to improvement in energy performance, promotes
competitiveness, generates job and leads to grid improvement. From environmental
perspective, It will result in reduced non-productive energy consumption which
leads to negawatt and reduced green house gases.
Here is to
congratulate Aarti Steels located in Ota and Grand Cereals Limited as awardees
of ISO50001 in Nigeria. More industries are already enrolled in the extension of
the project being executed by GFA and NESP and we at ZEL are very happy and proud
to associate with the success story.
Share with
your friends. ISO50001 is in Naija industries! Cheers!!
