SCHNEIDER Electric has launched a range of smart solutions adapted to the Nigerian environment. The new products will drive down the cost of power disturbances in the country from an alarming $29 billion.
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, explained that these ranges of products are categorised as critical power management, smart homes, and lighting, home, and distribution solutions. In a statement signed by Mojola Ola, head of partner and buildings business, Schneider Electric Anglophone West Africa, noted that these solutions are safe because they avoid electrical fires.
The products, according to him, are efficient in helping one save money by reducing energy spend. “They are reliable by preventing the failure of electrical distribution and are compliant because they demonstrate Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainability, a key policy for the company.
“With the right tools, you can leverage data for space management, occupant well-being, occupant engagement, and operational efficiency. These products lead to a reduction in maintenance, an increase in productivity, and a reduction in CO2 emission. They will help customers reinvent buildings, particularly those of financial institution, hotels, airports, healthcare, offices, and even homes.
“In times of pandemics, the importance of space management is essential to ensure safe distancing, monitoring of occupancy levels, and adapting to office layout. Also, occupants’ well-being is enhanced through the use of Schneider Electric’s Ecostruxure to confirm optimal humidity and to check air circulation.
“To improve occupants’ engagement, the launched product guarantees effective communication, easy access to IT tools and seamless navigation around the office. Targeting operational efficiency, one of Schneider Electric’s new technologies made provision for smarter cleaning, optimized building management, and power systems, as well as better management of amenities.
“Beyond cost savings made from averting power disturbances, the Schneider Electric’s Ecostruxure recent initiatives have enormous benefits for Nigerian IT experts, business owners and corporate organizations, even for governments at various levels,” he said.
Based on figures from the World Bank, the Nigerian economy annually loses as much as $29 billion to power disturbances across its various sectors. From high maintenance cost for appliances and installations through electrical fires and loss of lives, power disruptions and total blackouts continue to plague businesses and households.
