Ikeja Electric Distribution Network

Client: Ikeja Electric PLC  |  Location: Lagos, Nigeria  |  Year: 2023

A comprehensive regional network modernization and automation campaign across Lagos's highest-density industrial and residential franchise.

The Challenge

Identifying critical risks and system bottlenecks.

Ikeja Electric experienced high technical and commercial distribution losses, combined with long outage resolution timelines due to purely manual fault-location operations on the 11kV and 33kV lines.

Our Solution

Delivering precision engineering and tested technology.

SBL deployed an intelligent distribution automation system. This included upgrading 42 key injection substations with remote terminal units (RTUs), retrofitting 310 transformers with digital monitoring units, and launching a state-of-the-art centralized control-room interface.

The Outcome

Successful commissioning and guaranteed performance.

The distribution grid experienced a 27% reduction in technical losses. Average fault location and isolation times dropped dramatically to just 8 minutes.
