Building Reliable Power Systems for Nigeria's Telecom Network

Building Reliable Power Systems for Nigeria's Telecom Network

The backbone of Nigeria's telecommunications infrastructure depends on reliable, uninterrupted power. For tower operators like ATC Nigeria, IHS Towers, MTN, and Etisalat, power downtime translates directly to service disruptions and lost revenue. Since 2005, Jowal Associates has specialized in delivering end-to-end power infrastructure solutions that keep telecom sites operational 24/7.

What We Deliver

Our telecom power infrastructure services cover the complete lifecycle of power system deployment. We handle new grid connections from initial Technical Site Surveys (TSS) through final commissioning, ensuring each site receives reliable power designed to meet specific operational requirements. When existing infrastructure fails or needs upgrading, our retrofit and fault repair services restore systems to optimal performance with minimal downtime.

Transformer installations form a critical part of our offering. We size, procure, and install transformers appropriate for each site's load requirements, ensuring efficient power delivery and compliance with utility standards. Our HT/LT overhead line construction services extend grid connectivity to remote tower locations, navigating right-of-way challenges and terrain obstacles that are common across Nigeria.

The Technical Foundation

Every project begins with comprehensive power system design and BOQ preparation. Our engineering team conducts detailed Technical Site Surveys to understand existing conditions, load requirements, and site constraints. This information feeds into precise Bill of Quantities that give clients clear visibility into project scope and costs before execution begins.

We don't just design systems—we build them. As an EPC contractor, Jowal manages procurement, coordinates with utilities, handles all site work, and ensures quality assurance throughout execution. Our 7-day validation process confirms that installed systems perform as specified before handover.

Proven at Scale

With over 1000 projects completed for major tower operators since 2016, we've developed systematic approaches to telecom power deployment. Our teams understand the urgency of telecom infrastructure projects and the operational standards required by network operators. Whether deploying power to a single site or rolling out infrastructure across multiple states, we bring the same disciplined execution and technical rigor.

Why It Matters

Reliable grid connections reduce dependency on diesel generators, cutting operational expenses while improving environmental performance. Properly designed power systems eliminate the site visits, fuel logistics, and maintenance headaches associated with generator-dependent operations. For tower operators managing hundreds or thousands of sites, this operational simplification delivers substantial value.

Our experience spans the full spectrum of telecom power challenges—from urban sites with stable grid access to remote locations requiring creative solutions. We've navigated utility approval processes across Nigeria, understand regional grid characteristics, and know how to deliver compliant installations that pass audit requirements.
