Nigeria’s power sector is believed to be deepened by Royal Power and Energy (RPE), a power solution provider, from its power revolution across the country.
As an ISO 9001 certified company, with over 12 years industry experience and more than 10,000 installations of various capacities, the company’s power quality portfolio encompasses a comprehensive offering of power management solutions from a single-source provider in Nigeria.
The company was recognised in the recent London Stock Exchange Group ‘Companies to Inspire Africa 2019’ report, a report that covers fast growing and vibrant businesses across Africa with the potential to transform the African economy.
“We are very proud that our reputation for excellence and growth has been noticed,” Sasha Israni, managing director of RPE, said, noting, “We have a great team and being part of the power industry in Nigeria is both exciting and challenging but this report indicates that as a company we are moving in the right direction.
“Power outages to a business can create a significant economic impact. The longer a business is without power, the greater the economic loss. When these unexpected situations occur, backup power provides a source to support the equipment loads via (UPS) uninterruptible power supplies, battery-storage systems and solar energy.”
UPS systems and solar energy are an appealing option for the power sector because of the flexibility they provide. A UPS can dispatch power instantaneously, which makes them a valuable resource to help smooth out sudden spikes or drops in power supplies. Solar energy can daily be utilised to patch the shortfall in electricity production.
“As the country grows rapidly the scarcity of electricity will only deepen. Nigeria has a lot of opportunities for solar energy and we at Royal Power and Energy would like to unlock this potential,” Israni said, “increasing renewable energy and moving away from fossil fuels would also reduce carbon emissions significantly.”
The big increases in electricity consumption is part of the reason corporate firms have embraced renewables. Solar energy offer firms two primary benefits: They help companies meet their sustainability goals while providing a hedge against diesel prices. Solar locks in diesel costs, meaning they offer electricity buyers long-term energy price certainty.
Recently, RPE has commissioned a 30KW solar power solution, with panels on the rooftop to power its entire office. The solar panels are one-time investment and have provided an overall reduction in electricity and diesel cost. Since moving the office to being 100 percent solar powered and energy efficient, the RPE office has had an uninterrupted power supply, which has significantly reduced the dependence on public utility (Grid Power) and fossil fuels (DG sets).
“Technology, innovation and talent are at the core of everything RPE does, and generating clean energy at our office facility demonstrates our commitment to a culture of sustainability to promote a cleaner, healthier environment,” Israni said, “our sustainability efforts also touch the products and experiences we offer our customers.”
RPE provides products and services in the area of power back up, conditioning, energy efficiency and protection. The company has support locations across the country enable their engineers to reach even remote sites within a short period of time.
“Our ultimate goal is to upgrade the lives of millions of Nigerians and to provide a better environment for the future generation,” Israni said.
