| description | Energy and humanity are superimposed. Its importance to humankind and indispensable nature to the world cannot be overemphasized. Public institutions and households need energy to carry out their daily activities. The increase in the demand for energy in public institutions can be traced to technological advancement, which has resulted in a sharp rise in energy consumption, increasing the energy monthly utility bill astronomically. These have put pressure on public institutions in Nigeria and across the globe, as most are heavily indebted to energy companies. Due to constant electric power failure in Nigeria, public institutions rely heavily on diesel generators to argument their daily energy need. Cost minimization and sustainable clean energy have become a priority for the managers of our public institutions. This study was carried out to establish the exact amount of energy consumption at the Federal Polytechnic Bida, Nigeria, and fashion out ways of reducing the cost burden for the institution.The study was achieved by installing "Efergy Meter" to understudy the energy audit of the institution. Based on the result obtained, the exact amount of energy consumption was established. The solar photovoltaic (P.V.) system was considered a clean and cost-effective option for our public institutions in the long term. |
