Nigerian, Indian firms partner to tackle electricity crisis

As Nigeria battles frequent grid collapses, XGT Smart Consults has signed an agreement with an India-based company, ADM-Orient Solar Power.

The deal aims to deliver long-lasting energy solutions that will address the power issue and support the country’s growth sustainably.

In a statement on Sunday, XGT Smart Consults said it was thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with ADM-Orient Solar Power (India) to address one of Nigeria’s most critical issues—reliable power.

It stated that its target was to provide Nigeria with solutions to overcome frequent power outages by empowering homes and businesses with reliable, renewable, and affordable power.

This, it said, would be achieved in conjunction with its partners through renewable energy systems, advanced electrical services, independent power production solutions, portable natural gas generators, automation services, and the rental and leasing of CNG tube skids.

The Managing Director of XGT Smart Consults, Mr Olu Harrison, said, “The objective is to provide reliable cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy to households and businesses throughout Nigeria.

“Understanding the intricacies of the energy crisis, XGT employs a holistic approach that integrates renewable energy solutions, independent power generation, and innovative technologies tailored to the specific requirements of Nigerian consumers.

“Our goal is to empower every Nigerian household and business by revolutionising the production, distribution, and consumption of energy.”

According to the statement, XGT specialises in providing innovative renewable energy solutions designed to meet the unique climate and energy needs of Nigeria.

“Our wide range of solar and sustainable energy systems are suitable for individual homes, corporate settings, and community projects.

“By harnessing the power of renewable energy, XGT offers environmentally friendly alternatives that reduce reliance on the national grid and significantly cut energy costs,” it added.

The company’s Executive Director, Toluwase Oni, added, “XGT’s IPP solutions provide a solution to the urgent need for self-sufficient power generation, particularly in industrial and commercial sectors where power reliability significantly affects productivity and revenue.

“By establishing a network of captive/ localised, independent power systems, XGT Power-IPP empowers Industries, businesses and communities/estate to take control of their energy needs.”

Apart from the renewable energy sources, the firm said it offers a range of portable natural gas generators providing a flexible energy solution for areas with limited grid connectivity or users who need extra backup during power outages.

“These generators are designed with user-friendly features and portability in mind, enabling users to power essential operations without depending on traditional, often unreliable, grid infrastructure,” the statement disclosed.

In conjunction with these generators, XGT said it specialises in automation systems that optimise energy management to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and streamline operations.

As part of its services, the company disclosed that it offers rental and lease services for compressed natural gas tube skids to interested industries in recognition of the increasing demand for CNG as a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels.
