Case Study: Cummins West Africa Limited cuts energy costs and diesel use with a Cummins microgrid solution

Cummins West Africa Limited cuts diesel use 30% with Cummins microgrid

Cummins West Africa Limited sought to minimize electricity costs and reduce reliance on the national grid at its facility in Ikeja, Nigeria. To address this challenge, the customer turned to vendor Cummins Inc. for a solution that would incorporate their PowerCommand Microgrid Control® MGC900 and diesel generators.

Cummins implemented a comprehensive 1MW microgrid system featuring a large solar array, a lithium-ion battery bank, and multiple generators, all controlled by its MGC900 controller. This solution from Cummins successfully reduced the facility's grid dependency to just 10% of its load, cut annual diesel consumption by 30%, and delivered over 30% in direct savings on the utility bill, all while significantly lowering its carbon footprint.
