Reduce unnecessary electricity costs. Power is a major expense for many Nigerian businesses, so monitor where your energy goes.

What to do

  • Identify the equipment responsible for the largest power consumption.
  • Turn off non-essential equipment when it is not needed and maintain appliances so they operate efficiently.
  • Compare the real cost of different power sources for your operating hours rather than relying on assumptions.

Watch out for

Reducing power use should not create safety issues, spoil products or make customers uncomfortable during operating hours.

Example

A store can schedule charging, cooling or heavy equipment use around the most efficient available power source while keeping critical systems running.

Power decisions become easier when the business already understands its sales, operating hours and cost structure.
