Huawei Nigeria Digital Power has introduced the LUNA2000-215 Series, a new commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system (ESS) that combines air and liquid cooling technology. The launch event brought together industry stakeholders and partners to discuss the system’s potential to improve safety, management, and performance in Nigeria’s energy sector. Huawei reported that five Nigerian partners have already ordered 84 sets of the new system.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Cruise Ni, Director of Huawei Nigeria Digital Power Business Department, outlined current drivers of growth in Africa’s C&I sector, including unreliable electricity supply, rising energy costs, and the falling price of solar technology.

“These factors are pushing demand for PV+ESS solutions. Businesses can now generate and consume energy, reducing their costs and supporting the shift to greener alternatives,” Ni said.

He emphasized Huawei’s “PSSOCT” model, which focuses on reliability across Product, Solution, Service, Operation, Company, and Technology. “Huawei is dedicated to providing reliable technology solutions that empower businesses and communities in Nigeria,” he said.

The LUNA2000-215-2S10 is designed for Nigeria’s expanding C&I energy storage market. According to Huawei, the system offers features such as thermal safety, intelligent cooling, and improved energy efficiency. Key components include the “Cell-to-Consumption” dual-link safety architecture, which incorporates fire suppression and rapid shutdown capabilities.

Huawei noted that the ESS system supports flexible installation and includes integrated digital tools for performance tracking and revenue optimization. The company cited inverter availability of 99.999% and a round-trip energy efficiency of over 91.3%.

Representatives from partner organizations also spoke at the launch. Mr. Esan Oladimeji, Head of ICT at the Federal Fire Service Nigeria, emphasized safety in the photovoltaic (PV) industry. “Safety is the foundation of photovoltaic industry development. No safety, no business,” he said. “We hope the PV industry prioritizes safety and quality.”

Rensource Energy, a financing partner, presented solutions such as power purchase agreements and leasing options. The company underscored the importance of working with reliable brands that offer strong after-sales support.

Powercell Limited, a project partner, shared its experience deploying Huawei’s equipment in 14 green shopping malls and supermarkets. According to Powercell, the project achieved more than 80% fuel savings and a projected four-year return on investment.

Huawei said the LUNA2000-215 series aims to help Nigerian businesses manage their energy needs with greater efficiency and reliability, while contributing to broader sustainability goals.
