Diesel Abatement Economics: How Solar Microgrids Cut Factory OpEx by 65%
With industrial diesel prices fluctuating above ₦1,200/litre across industrial clusters in Ikeja, Agbara, and Ibadan, self-generation electricity costs now average ₦380–₦450 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) Equation
A turnkey Gilead 500kW rooftop PV microgrid generates clean daytime solar power at an amortized Levelized Cost of Energy under ₦65/kWh over a 25-year design lifespan, achieving full capital payback in under 22 months.
