Lagos Launches Energy, Emission Calculator

The Lagos State government is set to launch the first consumer focused Household Energy and Emission Calculator in Nigeria at the Lagos Economic Summit which begins tomorrow.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and its implementation agency, the Lagos State Electricity Board, LSEB, is launching the new innovation.

The General Manager, LSEB, Mrs. Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the Household Energy and Emission Calculator is designed to calculate the energy usage and emissions which households generate.

“This will be done online via a user friendly self help tool. Individuals will be required to log on to the LSEB website (www.lseb.gov.ng) and calculate their estimated energy consumption by simply inputting the number of appliances located within their homes.

“It is important that Lagosians understand their energy needs, as well as being able to calculate their energy consumption as it helps promote an energy awareness culture.

“The calculator is part of the state’s government Power Sector Development programme which will also feature an energy policy, independent power projects, electrification of industrial estates, renewable energy initiatives, public lighting, energy programmes for schools and graduates and the state-wide energy audit programme,” she stated.
