WHY WE CHAMPION THE CAUSE OF DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT

OUR COMPANY ZEUS ENERGY LIMITED was established 6 years ago to add its modest quota to the solution proferred to end energy poverty in Nigeria. 

We also had the lofty vision to build the largest VIRTUAL POWER PLANT (VPP) in the world, in furtherance of our goal to be a climate change ambassador and promoter.

This led us to adopt demand side management as our core services, with the role of third party middlemen between the Discos who supply electricity and the consumers who pay for the electricity.

In this regards, we use medium such as this blog to talk about electricity usage and how this indispensable aspect of modern life can be managed for optimum use of ALL and to the

BETTERMENT OF THE GREEN PLANET.

TODAY'S LESSON

WHAT USES MORE ELECTRICAL ENERGY BETWEEN MICROWAVE OVEN AND ELECTRIC HOT PLATE?

CORRECT ANSWER WILL WIN A SPECIAL GIFT

WATER EFFICIENCY IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY

WATER IS LIFE. This is fact. Now imagine a tap that is supposed to regulate the flow of this precious water leaking. How would it feel like? Messy and wasteful, right? 

Did you know that a 100,000 liters of water in a leaking tank will not take 100 hours to leak away if the leak is not fixed. Do your findings and share with me. 

NOW HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR WATER RESOURCES IN A WAY THAT TRANSLATES TO MANAGING YOUR ENERGY USE? 

Make Faucets, Toilets and Water Heaters Efficient

Leaking faucets and other fixtures can result in hundreds to thousands of dollars (lots of Naira) in extra water bills each year - both for individual, factory and state water resources. SO FIX EVERY LEAKING TAP AND BAD FAUCETS

Also, insulate your water heater if necessary to cut down on heating costs. Adjust the temperature of hot water heaters, too. Experts recommend between 110 and 120 degrees.

the idea is water saved in a tank is energy saved in the grid

MAKING MOST OF YOUR ENERGY

As a company owner or a home owner, how do you maximize your daily energy use in a way that at the end of the week, you become richer and not poorer. 

I intend henceforth to give you energy saving ideas on here every other week so that together, we can be richer from our energy use and make the earth greener than we met it.

My EE idea for you today is the commonest but the hardest to maintain:

Turn Off Lights

Sounds obvious and simple enough right? Well … not as obvious and simple as it might seem. According to one survey by Lutron, 90% of Americans know of someone who forgets to turn out lights when leaving a room. Mind you,

That's in America where there is power sufficiency. In Nigeria, it is very common to leave lights on even when it is NOT IN USE and this eats money the way termites eat wood. 

WHAT TO DO:

Do you have signs next to light switches in conference rooms to turn out lights? Have you considered motion-activated lights in little-used hallways or common areas, that will turn off after a period of time and turn on only when someone enters the space? 

Think of ways to remind people to turn off lights, or have lights turn on and off automatically.

IF YOUR COMPANY OR HOME IS IN LAGOS AND YOU'D LOVE TO HAVE TECHNOLOGY ASSIST YOU IN SAVING ENERGY WASTED ON LIGHT SWITCHES, WE CAN HELP with our range of smart energy management devices.

IS CLIMATE CHANGE A HOAX?

Weeks back, green world enthusiasts and climate change campaigners all over the globe were disheartened when President Trump of US announced the inglorious exit of United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. He had hinted at exiting US from the agreement during his presidential campaign and finally on June 3^rd, 2017, President Trump made it formal in an announcement made in Rose Garden, attributing the reason for his decision, among others, to the fact that the notion of climate change is a hoax.

 But sincerely, let us ask ourselves, Is Climate Change really a hoax? Agreed, President Trump for long has been a climate change denier, believing that global warming was a concept created by China to affect the competitiveness of American industries. In his nationalist rhetoric, President Trump believes and has continually reiterated that climate change is a myth that would throttle American industries without commensurate gains as advertised by its promoters. In one long swipe, President Trump abdicated the leadership role expected of US in implementing terms of the Paris Climate Accord by withdrawing his country from comity of Earth loving nations.

Can his reasoning be faulted? The President, relying on unsubstantiated scientific claims and “common sense”, believed that US was being milked by other nations to fight a mythical global warming whose effect cannot be predicted or measured in real terms. President Trump believes that efforts made to correct the effects of CLIMATE CHANGE cannot change the course of world’s destiny and as such it is wanton wastage to invest US tax payer’s money on it. He believes so vehemently that planet Earth is smart enough to take care of herself.

Again let us ask: Is Mr. President making any sense? Can he be correct in his assertion that Climate Change is a fraud? Will Paris Climate Accord at the end be able to sustain our planet against effects of global warming even without the participation of US?

Answers to these salient questions lies in the proximate tomorrow of our children and theirs and history will be there to vindicate or vilify President Trump for his controversial decision made on the destiny of planet Earth. 

Personally, I hope he is wrong.

Enjoy your day.

MELTING GLACIERS – A GRIM REALITY

I saw an interview on CNN over the weekend featuring Sean Burch, the American extreme adventure athlete, on his latest record breaking mountain climb. I was attracted to the news piece when I heard his claims about melting glaciers high up in the mountains- a stark testimony to the grim reality of climate change that he witnessed firsthand and shared with the world.  Yes, it is true that glaciers (ice packs) that capped the very high mountains are melting and it is a direct result of global warming. Sean Burch was bold to say it and it is imperative we take him serious.

His declaration is a fresh wake up to cynics of climate change, those men and women in places of power who either pay lip service to the green cause or those who are outright critics of the climate change agenda. We should rise to the care of planet earth for our children’s children to enjoy and this is no mere wishful thinking. Efforts must be concretized that fosters planting of trees, conservation of endangered species, elimination of TFC from the world and pertinently, preparation for acts of God that is ever constant nowadays. We must all sacrifice a bit of comfort to save for the coming generation to use- that is our idea of negawatt revolution at Zeus Energy Limited.

Believe me green people, year 2017 holds a lot of promise for the green planet. In the US, we’d be ushering out an historic era of President Barack Obama who made indelible prints in climate change crusade and would never be forgotten and usher in the presidency of Mr. Donald Trump who does not hide his disdain for climate change. Personally, his brags notwithstanding, I look forward to the new thinking that President Trump would introduce to the green world agenda as he is a seasoned estate management mogul with cognate international experience and initiatives he would have been waiting for the opportunity to turn into policy. Now elected as the Sacred Eagle, he should do well to care for his nest and planet earth.

With this I will take a bow for the year, wishing you green people a fabulous xmas and a prosperous New Year.

Cheers!!!

PRE-PAID METERS – PROMOTING EFFICIENT USE OF ENERGY

From experience I have observed that usage of pre-paid electricity meter promotes frugal management of electric energy. I remember when we used to get our monthly readings from analog meters issued by NEPA- you know the type with its spinning dial and archaic log. This system of billing customers was not only crude and prone to corruption; its debit nature encouraged wastage, arbitrariness or estimated billings, refusal to pay and bankruptcy of power companies.  

Today the case is somewhat different. Discos all over are providing smart pre-paid meters to their customers, which from my observation, results in better management of their electricity credit. How it happens is not rocket science. Pre-paid meters brings out the value of electric credit when loaded by customers because they can see how it depletes with every minute that passes, with every current used up in providing “light”. Just like call credit is used up when we make call on our cell phones, electric credit loaded in pre-paid meters is expended the same way to provide electricity.

With pre-paid meters, customers now know the importance of using low wattage appliances and gadgets which is a smart way of economizing on their energy supply. For instance, I observed that  pre-paid meters supplied by Ikeja Electric nowadays promote the replacement of conventional bulbs to energy saving bulbs (CFLs) by their customers who are made aware of energy guzzling properties of those 80 and 100 watts light bulbs when their energy credit run out within weeks of loading it. Same behavior is observed in industries and other customers with high energy demand.  Since energy credit is bought with cash before it is loaded into the meters, the value of energy they supply is better appreciated now by customers.

I sincerely hope the Discos will heed the admonition of Mr. Raji Fashola (SAN) and supply pre-paid meters to their customers. Its advantages are far reaching. Pre-paid meters eliminate estimated billing on the part of Discos, in the way bringing probity to the billing system. It also cuts wastage in energy use by customers, bringing out the immeasurable value of negawatt to the good people of Nigeria. If you are yet to get a pre-paid meter, I urge you to go and place order for one with your Disco. You will become a better manager of your energy when you start using it. Cheers!!

VALUE OF NEGAWATT

The value of a diamond ring goes beyond its bling. A diamond ring, worn or contemplated to be, is ever a priced treasure in the market for what it represents- symbol of unbreakable bond between two people united by love. The expensive price aside, wearer of a diamond ring wishes to get the “happy ever after” that really brings out the worth of the diamond in the ring. Ask any real woman, to wear a diamond ring on unhappy heart is worse than being single (as I see it sha).  The value of a diamond ring is relative to the happiness it brings.

Same for forest of trees. The value of forest to us as inhabitants of planet earth cannot be fully appreciated unless we see it relative to the benefits it brings us. The canopy of carbon dioxide that sustains the eco system, made possible by the abundance of trees, holds more value to earth than hundred skyscrapers that populate Manhattan in New York City. Without these trees, the green planet will just fizzle out, leaving the tall skyscrapers vacant and stark; the city a shadow of concrete waste and tar. Believe me, a tree holds more value than a skyscraper; as it concerns sustainability and subsistence of this green planet.

It is the reason why we hold negawatt in high esteem in our company. Our concern as evangelists of climate change is to encourage less development of power plants but preach more development of virtual power plant (VPP) erected in space when energy is efficiently managed, resulting in equitable distribution of energy that eschews wastage. Imagine we are able to save enough energy from the ones we waste and channel that “saved energy” to another person in need of it. It obviates the need build power plants when the ones in use can still serve its intended customers.

Join us in building trees in the cloud. Invest in negawatt today. It pays.
