Industrial power systems, electrical maintenance, power station work and factory electrification, built for Nigerian conditions, maintained for zero unplanned downtime.
In summary: GDPS Ltd designs, builds and maintains industrial power distribution systems across Nigeria, transformers, switchgear, MCC panels, factory electrification and energy efficiency, with NEMSA-licensed engineers, 24/7 availability and a guaranteed 2-hour emergency response.
Every factory manager in Nigeria knows the equation: unreliable grid supply plus diesel generation equals power infrastructure under constant stress. GDPS Ltd is the power distribution company Nigerian industry calls to break that cycle, designing, building and maintaining industrial power systems engineered specifically for Nigerian operating conditions: voltage fluctuations, tropical heat, dust, humidity and round-the-clock production.
From transformer installations in Trans-Amadi's industrial heartland to complete factory electrification in Lagos and Abuja, we deliver the full power chain: intake, transformation, distribution, protection, and the maintenance that keeps it all alive for decades. Licensed by NEMSA, insured, and warranty-backed, with 24/7 availability and a 2-hour emergency response.
Industrial Power System Design & Build
Getting power distribution right starts long before the first cable is pulled. Our design engineers produce load schedules, single-line diagrams, short-circuit and protection coordination studies, and cable sizing calculations to IEC 60364 and the Nigerian Electrical Code. Then we build what we design:
- Transformer installations, 11kV/0.415kV and 33kV intake substations, oil and dry-type transformers, RMUs and packaged substations, installed and commissioned with full test certification.
- Switchgear & distribution boards, main LV switchboards, motor control centres (MCCs), power factor correction panels, and sub-distribution boards built with genuine OEM components (Schneider, ABB, Siemens).
- Factory electrification, complete electrical infrastructure for new manufacturing facilities: containment systems, machine supplies, lighting (including high-bay and hazardous-area luminaires), and small power.
- Earthing & lightning protection, earth electrode systems designed for Niger Delta soil resistivity, surge protection devices, and lightning protection tested to IEC 62305.
Electrical Maintenance That Prevents, Not Just Repairs
In Nigeria's climate, electrical maintenance is not optional. Heat degrades insulation, humidity corrodes connections, and dust invades enclosures, while generator-parallel operation stresses protection systems daily. Our preventive maintenance programs include:
- Thermographic (infrared) surveys to catch hot joints before they fail
- Insulation resistance and earth loop impedance trending
- Breaker servicing, contact resistance testing and relay verification
- Transformer oil testing, tap changer maintenance and bushing inspection
- Torque verification of busbar and cable terminations
- Full compliance documentation for NEMSA inspections and insurance
Predictive maintenance for tropical climates is one of our specialties: by trending test results over time, we replace components at the optimal moment, before failure, without waste.
Energy Efficiency for Diesel-Dependent Operations
Most Nigerian factories generate the majority of their own power. That makes electrical efficiency a direct fuel-cost lever. Our energy services include power factor correction (typical payback under 12 months), generator synchronization and load-sharing systems that let multiple sets run at efficient loading, harmonic surveys and mitigation to protect sensitive drives and PLCs, and facility energy audits that identify exactly where your diesel money goes. Clients routinely cut energy costs by 15-25%, savings that flow straight to the bottom line every month.
Power Station & Critical Infrastructure Work
Beyond factories, we maintain electrical systems for independent power plants, captive power stations, hospitals, data centres and commercial buildings where power failure is not an option. Our teams are experienced with synchronizing switchgear, protection grading between grid and embedded generation, automatic changeover systems, and UPS integration for critical loads.
How Much Does It Cost? Transparent, Always.
Every engagement starts with a free estimate, itemized, transparent, and without obligation. For maintenance, we offer tiered contracts:
| Plan | Includes | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Quarterly preventive visits, annual thermography, test certification | Small factories & commercial buildings |
| Professional | Monthly visits, 2-hr emergency response, spares management, energy reporting | Manufacturing & processing plants |
| Enterprise | Dedicated engineer, resident support options, full compliance management | Large industrial & oil & gas facilities |
Whether you run a plastics plant in Oregun, a food factory in Agbara, a refinery in Port Harcourt or a government facility in Abuja, GDPS Ltd delivers power you can build a business on. Call now for a free estimate, or reach us 24/7 for emergencies.

Project Highlight, Lagos Manufacturing
Complete Factory Electrification, Agbara Industrial Estate
A beverage manufacturer building a new production facility in Agbara needed complete electrical infrastructure on a tight construction timeline, 2MVA intake substation, main LV switchroom, production line MCCs, and energy-efficient high-bay lighting across 12,000m².
GDPS delivered design-and-build: load schedules and SLDs approved in week one, a 2×1MVA transformer substation with RMU intake, a 12-section main switchboard with 400kVAr automatic power factor correction, and three production MCCs with soft-start and VSD control. To protect the client's launch date, we worked evening and weekend shifts through the final six weeks.
Result: NEMSA inspection passed first time, factory commissioned on schedule, and measured power factor of 0.98 cutting reactive losses from day one. The client retained GDPS for ongoing maintenance under our Professional plan with 2-hour response cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on facility size, system voltage levels and response requirements. GDPS Ltd provides free, itemized estimates. As a guide, structured maintenance contracts typically cost 30-40% less annually than reactive repairs, and prevent the production losses that dwarf maintenance spend entirely.
Yes. Through power factor correction, load balancing, generator synchronization, harmonic mitigation and energy audits, we routinely cut facility energy costs by 15-25%, critical in Nigeria where most factories run diesel or gas generation for the majority of operating hours.
Yes, full design-and-build: load schedules, single-line diagrams, transformer and switchgear selection, MCC panels, cable containment, earthing and lightning protection, testing and NEMSA certification, delivered on construction timelines.
Power factor correction uses capacitor banks to reduce reactive power. If your facility runs large motors or is billed with reactive power penalties, or your generators seem 'overloaded' at moderate kW, you likely need it. We measure, design and install correction systems with typical payback under 12 months.
Yes. Our maintenance agreements include scheduled preventive maintenance, thermographic surveys, priority 2-hour emergency response, discounted callout rates and detailed reporting for your compliance and insurance records.
