On September 10, 2025, Nigeria’s national grid suffered a major outage due to generator failure, cascading into massive load dropouts across many regions. Reuters Such grid instability has become all too common, leading many commercial and industrial users to rely heavily on diesel generators. But this comes with high fuel and maintenance costs, and environmental downsides.
This post would explore how decentralised power systems—renewables (solar), mini-grids, or hybrid gas gensets—offer reliable alternatives. It would compare operating cost, emissions, fuel savings, and long-term resilience. For instance, combining solar + gas backup can reduce dependence on diesel.
For PCL-Power, there is value in providing turnkey backup power solutions: gas generators, solar systems, hybrid installations, and ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M). Also, with supply chain challenges, fuel logistics become essential. Showing actual cost savings (using your calculators, charts) helps clients see the financial value of switching from diesel to gas or hybrid solutions.
CTA: invite businesses to audit their current backup power spend, explore hybrid/gas backup options, and partner with PCL-Power for more reliable power
