A result of the combination of resources and expertise of METKA and International Power Supply (IPS), EXERON is said to be the most advanced hybrid off-grid system delivering uninterrupted output power through intelligent control of various energy sources, including solar panels, wind turbines, the electrical grid, and/or diesel generators.
Speaking during the launch, Anita Otubu, Head of Special Projects, Rural Electrification Agency (REA) stated that “Our sole mission at the REA is to provide access to reliable electric power supply for rural dwellers, and the launch of EXERON in Nigeria is a welcome development as it would contribute significantly to the realization of our objectives.”
On how the system works, Dimitrios Triantafyllopoulos, METKA Project Director, said: “EXERON intelligently combines various power sources with battery storage to reliably provide base-load power. Battery banks are used to store energy for later use at nighttime, for peak saving during daytime or to provide resilient energy to the load during grid outages. It is an affordable and efficient solution suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential, industrial, oil and gas, telecoms, defense and security.”
Detailing the features of the product, Emmanuel Elegbe, Operations Manager, METKA West Africa, noted: “EXERON is a complete energy management system. As such, no costs and time are needed for integrating parts from various manufacturers. The system comes pre-configured from the factory, allowing for quick and easy installation.
“In addition, the intelligent battery management system is able to extend the life of the storage system up to 30 per cent. And because the system’s modular architecture allows load sharing between modules, the output power remains unaffected in the rare case of failure. Another key advantage of EXERON is that the modular system can easily be scaled up to meet tomorrow’s energy needs; power upgrade takes just a few seconds and no tools are needed.”

Off-grid applications represent a fast growing segment of the global power solutions market, and Nigeria is no exception. To this end, the Federal Government instituted the Rural Electrification Fund (REF) to enable more private sector participation in power projects such as grid extension, interconnected mini-grid, isolated mini-grid, isolated micro/nano grids and stand-alone systems. A minimum of $10,000 (N3.5 million) and maximum of $300,000 (N106 million), or 75 per cent of the total project cost, whichever is less, could be given as grant.
METKA IPS, the makers say, is well positioned to meet the challenges of the rapidly growing hybrid and off grid power market, serving the needs of customers in Nigeria and around the world with affordable and efficient solutions.
