The risk you already know
Capital avoids Nigerian power not because demand is weak — demand is overwhelming — but because revenue leaks between generation and collection. Theft and unmetered consumption make cashflows unbankable.

NGriid is the observability layer for power distribution. We meter, measure and account for every megawatt from injection substation to customer — so DisCos know exactly where energy goes, where it leaks, and where it's stolen.

Our position, plainly
We won't promise to fix Nigeria's electricity.
Nobody honest can. Generation shortfalls, gas supply, transmission constraints — these are problems no single company solves.
What we can do — and prove — is make the distribution grid observable. When a DisCo can see exactly how much energy enters a feeder, how much reaches meters, and how much disappears in between, losses stop being an estimate and become an address. That's our entire motive: measurement, not miracles.

The seven metrics
Where a delivered megawatt-hour actually goes.
Quasar accounts for the whole value chain — distributed, realized, and every category of loss in between. Scroll the chain; the chart follows.
TOTAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTED ▲ 0.0%
- 01 · TOTAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTED
Everything starts with what enters the wires.
Metered at the injection substation, this is the one number nobody disputes — the energy a DisCo takes custody of, month by month.
▲ 2.3% - 02 · TOTAL REVENUE REALIZED
What actually comes back.
Billed, collected, banked. The distance between this bar and the one above it is the entire economics of Nigerian power distribution.
▲ 2.8% - 03 · ATC&C LOSSES
The gap, named.
Aggregate technical, commercial and collection losses. On an unobserved network it is an estimate; on a metered one it is an address list.
▼ 4.8% - 04 · COLLECTION LOSS (NORMAL)
Billed, but never paid.
Invoices that die as receivables. Observability shows exactly which feeders and bands carry the arrears.
▲ 16.9% - 05 · COLLECTION LOSS (THEFT)
Taken, not billed.
Bypassed meters and tapped lines. Variance between transformer output and customer billing puts a timestamp and a location on every kilowatt-hour stolen.
▲ 22.6% - 06 · COMMERCIAL LOSS
Consumed, never invoiced.
Unmetered customers and estimated billing. Every one is recoverable revenue once the meter chain closes.
▲ 14.1% - 07 · TECHNICAL LOSS
The physics bill.
Heat in conductors and transformers. Irreducible below a floor — but only measurement tells you how far above the floor you are.
▲ 9.5%
The Quasar platform
From metering to accountability, one pipeline.
Quasar is NGriid's grid observability console: live telemetry in, an energy-accounting ledger out. Every feeder becomes a balance sheet.
- 01
Meter the boundary
Smart meters at injection substations, feeders, distribution transformers and customer endpoints establish a chain of custody for every kilowatt-hour.
- 02
Reconcile the energy balance
Quasar continuously compares energy sent versus energy billed at every level of the network. The gap between them is loss — located, quantified, time-stamped.
- 03
Decompose the loss
Technical, commercial, collection or theft — each leak has a signature. Quasar separates them so teams chase the right problem with the right tool.
- 04
Act on evidence
Variance alerts point enforcement teams to specific transformers and time windows — audit-grade data that stands up in a dispute, not hunches.
From card to culprit
Every loss figure opens into the events behind it.
A number you can't interrogate is a number you can't act on. In Quasar, the theft card isn't a summary — it's a doorway. Drill from the monthly figure to the exact transformers, time windows and kilowatt-hours behind it, and hand enforcement a work order instead of a suspicion.
LOSS ↑ IS RED. THAT'S THE POINT.
For DisCos
Run the network on measurement, not estimates.
Your losses are already happening. The only question is whether you can see them precisely enough to act.

Feeder-level energy accounting
Know the exact variance between energy received and energy billed, per feeder, per day — not a quarterly reconciliation surprise.
-
Theft with an address
Variance clusters on specific transformers and time windows turn "we suspect theft in this area" into a work order with coordinates.
-
Defensible ATC&C reporting
Metered, timestamped loss data strengthens your regulatory filings and tariff conversations — numbers you can stand behind.
-
Collections that follow the energy
Prioritize enforcement and metering rollouts where the unaccounted energy actually is, not where the last audit guessed.
For investors Power theft is why capital avoids this sector.
Power theft is why capital avoids this sector.
We exist to remove that reason.
What observability changes
A metered, continuously reconciled network converts loss from an unknown into a managed, shrinking line item. Recovery becomes measurable quarter over quarter — and measurable recovery is underwritable.
The investable wedge
Every percentage point of ATC&C loss recovered on a monitored network is new revenue with no new generation built. Observability is the cheapest megawatt in the sector.
OBSERVED LOSS → RECOVERED REVENUE → BANKABLE CASHFLOW
Start with one feeder
See your grid. Then decide.
A pilot instruments a single feeder end-to-end and hands you thirty days of real energy accounting. If the data doesn't justify scaling, you'll know — because for the first time, you'll have the data.
