Provider of shipping, logistics, and marine services, GAC Nigeria has announced its commitment to cut its generator use, fuel, and carbon footprint. The company has met its target two months ahead of schedule.
GAC Nigeria had installed a transformer to connect its head office in Lagos to the national grid. Although only available for part of each day, Nigeria’s grid electricity is cheaper than running diesel-powered generators and using it reduces carbon emissions.
The project was led by Martin Wills, GAC Nigeria’s Maintenance Manager, who said: “Despite three months when the grid electricity supply was poor, bringing down the daily average, our initiative has brought very real, measurable results – both for the environment and our budget. We are now looking forward to further savings in 2012.”
