Amid persistent electricity shortages and rising energy costs in Nigeria, Cense Power, an indigenous clean energy company, has introduced a range of solar storage systems aimed at improving access to reliable power across residential, commercial, and rural sectors.

Announced on Monday in Lagos, the new technology offers modular, lithium-ion battery-based solutions designed to reduce dependence on the national grid and diesel generators.

According to the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Obi Okpala, the system’s feature integrates battery management and artificial intelligence to adapt to users’ energy needs while supporting long-term efficiency.

“Energy should be smart, sustainable, and tailored to the user. These are not just batteries—they are intelligent energy hubs,” he said.

The announcement comes as millions of Nigerians continue to rely on generators and face unreliable electricity supply, particularly in underserved rural communities.

Okpala noted that the Cense lineup includes systems for homes, small businesses, community microgrids, and agricultural applications, with features such as real-time monitoring and cloud-based control.

One of the key offerings, he said, is a portable power unit for households and small shops, while larger installations such as the ‘community grid’ are designed to support solar-powered irrigation and rural electrification projects.

Okpala said the company is targeting farmers, SMEs, and healthcare centres that suffer most from power disruptions.

Though pricing and deployment timelines were not disclosed, Cense Power said the solutions are scalable and built for Nigerian conditions, with weather-resistant designs and ‘plug-and-play’ installation options.

The company also emphasised the role of local empowerment and sustainability in its approach, aligning with broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions and expand clean energy access nationwide.

Energy experts have long called for decentralised and adaptive solutions to address Nigeria’s chronic power infrastructure challenges.

While several private-sector initiatives have entered the solar space in recent years, storage remains a critical barrier to widespread adoption.

With this launch, Cense Power joins a growing list of players seeking to bridge the energy gap in Nigeria.
