Lagos is the commercial heart of Nigeria and one of the most energy-challenged. Between erratic grid supply, high diesel costs, and inefficient equipment, many businesses bleed money on energy without even realizing it.
If you’re a facility manager, factory owner, or power systems engineer struggling with rising power costs, there’s one proven solution you should prioritize: An Energy Audit.
It’s not just a technical exercise; it’s a strategic cost-saving tool.
What Is an Energy Audit?
An energy audit is a comprehensive assessment of how power is consumed in your facility. It identifies:
Where energy is being wasted
What systems or equipment are under-performing
What changes can save you money
Audits go beyond just looking at your electricity bills; they involve site measurements, equipment analysis, generator performance checks, power factor reviews, and staff usage patterns.
Why Energy Audits Matter in Lagos
In Lagos, businesses typically operate with a hybrid energy model:
Unreliable grid supply, diesel generators that are expensive to run, and sometimes solar backups for light loads.
This setup leads to hidden inefficiencies, such as:
Generators running at low efficiency
Air leaks in compressors
Poor power factor penalties
Lighting loads that are outdated
Equipment running during idle hours
Without an audit, these issues remain invisible and costly.
Top Benefits of an Energy Audit
Most businesses save 10–30% after implementing audit recommendations.
Diesel costs are rising. An audit helps reduce diesel consumption per kWh.
Correcting a poor power factor can eliminate utility surcharges.
Efficient operation means less wear and fewer breakdowns.
Use actual energy data to justify capital upgrades like VFDs, solar, or LED retrofits.
