When the grid fails, business continues.
Installed in October 2022, the 1MW / 2.3MWh AlphaESS system at Sterling Tower in Lagos has successfully managed hundreds of outages — keeping banking services fully operational.
Paired with AlphaESS energy storage, the system has supplied stable power for more than four years, successfully handling hundreds of unexpected outages and keeping Sterling Bank’s online and in-branch transactions running smoothly. The 17-storey landmark now shines on the skyline while cutting fuel costs dramatically compared with diesel generators. As one member of management observed: "Since the installation, we’ve significantly reduced our fossil-fuel spending — and that’s improved our bottom line."
