ALDENA

Measurement and monitoring for Nigeria's electricity sector.

We help operators and asset owners see what their networks and installations actually deliver, and recover the value that currently goes unaccounted for.

What we do

Nigeria's distribution networks and its deployed renewable assets share a problem. Nobody can see what they are doing.

Energy leaves a feeder and only a fraction of it is ever billed. Assets commissioned with public and donor money degrade quietly because no one is watching them. In both cases the gap is measurement, and in both cases the cost is money.

Aldena builds the measurement that closes that gap, and the evidence that lets an operator act on what it shows.

We work as a small senior team, on a limited number of engagements at a time.

How we engage

Loss assessment

An assessment of where energy, revenue or asset performance is being lost, and what recovering it would require.

Measurement design

We design the measurement that makes losses and asset performance visible, and turn what it produces into something an operator can act on.

Performance reporting

Reporting that satisfies a regulator, a funder or a board, built on evidence rather than estimates.

Who we are

Aldena brings the discipline of measurement and evidence from markets where it is long established. The firm draws on fifteen years of major programme delivery across UK energy, rail and central government, including grid connections reform at Britain's National Energy System Operator and earlier programmes at Network Rail.

It was founded by Buchi Madu, who holds an MSc in Renewable Energy from Cranfield University, an MSc in Project and Enterprise Management from University College London, and a BEng in Electronics and Communications Engineering from the University of Bristol.

Enquiries

Where are your losses?

If you are carrying losses you cannot account for, or assets you cannot see, we are happy to discuss what measuring them would involve.
