JMG Powers NIPCO’s Energy Shift: ₦44.4 Million Saved Annually with Solar at 3 Key Fuel Stations

JMG Limited, Nigeria’s trusted hybrid and renewable energy provider, has successfully commissioned solar power systems at three major NIPCO fuel stations at Gwagwalada, Lekki, and Mpape, delivering dependable clean energy, eliminating diesel reliance, and unlocking over ₦44 million in annual cost savings.

The installations feature advanced hybrid systems, combining solar arrays, lithium battery storage, and smart inverters to provide 24/7 energy for fuel pumps, lighting, and office operations. Each site has reported zero use of PHCN or generator power since the systems were installed.

“We’re proud to help NIPCO lead the energy transition at the retail level,” said Abbass Hussein, Head of JMG’s Hybrid Solar Division. “This project proves that fuel stations can operate fully on clean, silent, and cost-saving solar infrastructure—without compromise.”

Key Project Impacts Across the 3 Stations

✅ Total Solar Generation: 88,535 kWh/year

✅ Annual Cost Savings: ₦44.4 million

✅ CO₂ Emissions Avoided: 43.8 tonnes/year

✅ Load Coverage: 80–100% of daily energy needs

✅ System Type: Hybrid Solar with lithium battery backup

Site Performance Highlights

These systems allow NIPCO stations to operate independently of the grid for most of the day, with batteries absorbing excess solar production and smart inverters managing seamless transitions. Generator use has been reduced to near zero, only occasionally supporting loads during extended cloudy weather.

“Since commissioning, the solar systems have fully powered our operations. We’re satisfied and impressed by the reliability and savings,” said Mr. Idoko Jacob, Station Manager at Gwagwalada.
