You run the site.
We run the power.

BE Energy develops, constructs, owns, and operates hybrid solar-and-storage power assets for industrial and data center sites in Nigeria — retrofitted onto an existing grid-and-diesel operation, or designed in from day one for a new development. Either way, it's delivered under a long-term power purchase agreement: contracted, grid-independent baseload without financing, building, or operating a power plant yourselves.

Illustrative single-line — displacing grid + diesel exposure with an owned, dispatchable hybrid asset

The problem

Every large site in Nigeria ends up building its own power.

Grid supply to industrial feeders is frequently insufficient and unscheduled. Existing plants have defaulted to diesel as their real primary power source; new developments — factories, data centers, industrial parks — plan captive generation from day one, assuming they'll have to. Either way, power ends up self-built and outside the operator's core business, carrying forex-linked fuel costs, standby crews, and production risk every time supply drops.

Running on grid + diesel
Running on a BE Energy asset
Fuel & currency exposure

Diesel is priced against global oil markets and the naira/dollar rate — cost moves independently of your output.

A contracted tariff over the PPA term, priced against sunlight and an asset you never had to buy.

Maintenance & staffing

In-house crews keeping generators running — a discipline most industrial teams didn't sign up for.

O&M carried entirely by BE Energy, built into the availability commitment.

Capital allocation

Capex tied up in gensets, fuel storage, and standby capacity instead of production.

Zero capex on the power asset — capital stays available for the plant itself.

Emissions profile

Diesel combustion on-site, run-hours tracked informally if at all.

Metered renewable generation displacing diesel run-hours, with a documented record.

Balance sheet impact

Generation assets and their depreciation sit on the plant's own books.

The asset stays on BE Energy's balance sheet, not yours.

Uptime discipline

Power is a side responsibility for staff already running production.

Power is BE Energy's only business — availability is contractually guaranteed.

The model

One counterparty, accountable for the asset's entire life.

Development, construction, ownership, and operations sit inside the same company. The same team that designs the system also has to live with how it performs for the next fifteen-plus years — so it's engineered for durability and measured performance, not handed to a client at commissioning and forgotten.

D
Develop

Understand the load before designing the asset.

Load profiling, solar resource assessment, interconnection strategy, and PPA structuring — before anything gets built.

C
Construct

EPC delivery, sized to the plant, not off-the-shelf.

Solar PV and battery storage built and commissioned to the client's own load — tested before energy delivery ever begins.

O
Own

The asset sits on our balance sheet, not yours.

Financed through equity and project debt. No capital outlay, no construction or technology risk for the client.

O
Operate

Uptime is a continuous job, not a handover.

Remote monitoring and on-site response for the life of the PPA, measured against a contracted availability commitment.

How the commercial relationship works

You buy power. Not equipment.

The client signs a long-term power purchase agreement. BE Energy funds, builds, owns, and operates the generation asset, sited on or near the facility — and pays only for energy actually delivered, with diesel displaced progressively as reliability is proven on-site.

  • Long-term contract — matched to the life of the asset, not a short-term supply deal.
  • Priced against what you pay today — a Naira rate per kWh, calibrated to your current blended grid + diesel cost.
  • Zero capex, zero O&M — BE Energy owns, maintains, and carries the performance risk.

Tenor
Long-term, typically structured to match the useful life of the generation and storage assets.
Offtake
Direct bilateral PPA with the industrial site, or an embedded generation arrangement under applicable regulatory frameworks.
Tariff basis
Naira-denominated rate per kWh delivered, calibrated against the client's current blended cost of grid and diesel self-generation.
Configuration
Hybrid solar PV plus battery storage, sized to the client's load profile; grid and/or existing gensets remain available as backup during transition.
Availability
A contracted minimum uptime commitment, backed by continuous performance monitoring and remedies if unmet.
O&M
Carried entirely by BE Energy for the life of the agreement — no operating headcount required from the client.
End of term
Renewal, asset transfer, or re-contracting — agreed upfront as part of the original PPA.
Sectors

Built for continuous, energy-intensive industrial and compute loads.

The model fits facilities whose load profile and current generation cost justify a dedicated, purpose-sized power asset.

Data centers

Continuous, high-density compute load with zero tolerance for downtime — renewable-plus-storage firms baseload where diesel N+1 provides backup today.

Cement & building materials

Continuous kiln and grinding loads with high, steady baseload demand.

Mining & minerals processing

Remote, diesel-heavy sites — the strongest case for a captive system.

Textiles & garment manufacturing

Multi-shift motor loads sensitive to voltage sag and stoppage.

Food & beverage / FMCG

Cold chain and process lines where an outage spoils product.

Multi-tenant industrial parks

One embedded asset, shared across several offtakers.

The sustainability case

Decarbonization that also lowers the power bill.

Every kWh an industrial client draws from a BE Energy asset instead of a diesel genset is a direct, physical displacement — not an offset purchased elsewhere.

Physical diesel displacement, not a purchased offset.

Less exposure to oil markets and the naira/dollar rate.

Metered data offtakers can use in Scope 1/2 reporting.

Each asset is also structured to be financed and permitted like infrastructure — long-tenor contracted cash flows for capital partners, secured against a real, metered, operating asset, developed in line with Nigeria's embedded generation and eligible-customer frameworks administered by NERC.
