Beacon Power Services (BPS)

Beacon Power Services is a leading provider of energy management software and analytics for utilities and mini grid operators across Africa.

Beacon Power Services (BPS) has amassed significant experience developing energy software solutions in Nigeria. Because we adopt a bottom-up, boots-on-the-ground approach, we are often able to identify problems and issues that are unique to the Nigerian power value chain, and to provide solutions that are appropriately tailored.

BPS software is bespoke, fits appropriately within the market context, and is reflective of local economics in Nigeria. We provide our software at zero up-front cost, allowing our DisCo and Commercial/Industrial facility clients to spread payments for services over an extended period post-deployment (by which time value is being realized by our clients). This ensures that our incentives are aligned with the client’s over the long term. Our ethos is that we seek to partner, not just sell products.

We have a unique combination of strong local knowledge – gained over ten years of operating in Nigeria - and a deep pool of power sector (software) engineers that is unmatched locally. BPS develops its software in-house (not through “technical partners”). Our technology team has decades of prior experience at leading global electrical multinationals, developing software that is now deployed at some of the largest electric utilities in the world, such as Duke Energy, Exelon, Southern California Edison.
