As part of efforts to solve energy poverty currently being faced by some segments of the country, a rising firm in sustainable power solutions, Grid Crux, unveiled its innovative energy management solution, GC Watt, to revolutionise energy monitoring and management in homes and businesses.
At the event held at Maison Fahrenheit, Victoria Island, Lagos, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Grid Crux, Mojola Ola, said that Grid Crux is committed to making a significant impact when it comes to providing solutions across the energy spectrum.
According to him, “Our vision is to build solutions that ensure customers have the easiest and most efficient means to access and control their energy usage. GC Watt, born out of this vision, simplifies the process of purchasing and managing power, essentially democratising energy.”
Speaking on the goal of GC Watt, he said, “Our vision is a world where future generations can live productive and healthy lives without negatively impacting the environment. Our goal is to provide insightful and actionable information about energy consumption in a convenient and transparent manner, allowing you to make better decisions.”
“GC Watt’s potential applications are wide-ranging, from homeowners looking to reduce energy bills to businesses seeking to implement eco-friendly energy practises. The product’s adaptability and comprehensive monitoring capabilities make it an indispensable tool for the Nigerian energy landscape and beyond.”
In his remarks, Vice President Tech and Strategy, Grid Crux, Adedamola Olusakin, explained that Nigeria’s challenging journey to electrification has made consumers adopt alternative power.
He said, “The platform is at the forefront of the energy management revolution, helping users take control of their energy usage and consumption while supporting national and global objectives. Approximately 40% of the Nigerian population has no access to electricity and those who do find it unreliable and unpredictable.
“ Following the market launch of our version 1.0, upcoming features include advanced analytics, multi-source management, and load sensing for consumption analysis. Additionally, we plan to introduce EV charging monitoring and management capabilities.
“The GC Watt App, complemented by an integrated hardware box, provides the solution of a stress-free electricity purchase, real-time usage monitoring, and energy analysis for direct consumers, businesses, estates, multi-tenant buildings, and users across various sectors in their energy journey. It is available for download on the Play Store and Apple Store.” He said.
The Operations Director, Grid Crux, Bunmi Gbelee, said that the company recently embarked on supplying and installing solar inverter battery systems to orphanages, covering their essential needs, adding that it planned to empower ten orphanages by the close of 2023 through partnerships.
