Firm unveils DYQUE 125kW/241kWh solution, pledges lower operating costs and improved energy resilience for Nigerian industries
TranESS has introduced a new range of industrial energy storage solutions in Lagos, aiming to strengthen reliable power supply for Nigerian businesses. The announcement was made on Thursday during the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Channel Launch event themed “Reimagining Energy for Commerce and Industry.”
Speaking at the unveiling, Team Lead, TranESS Nigeria, Abiodun Wasiu, highlighted the launch of the DYQUE 125kW / 241kWh Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage System. The all-in-one intelligent solar-plus-storage platform is designed specifically for commercial and industrial applications in Nigeria’s challenging power environment.
According to Wasiu, the DYQUE system integrates Power Conversion System (PCS), Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), battery modules, Battery Management System (BMS), thermal management, and fire protection within a single plug-and-play unit. This approach eliminates complicated on-site commissioning and significantly reduces deployment time for businesses looking to improve their power infrastructure.
“Its modular string-type architecture supports flexible AC-side parallel expansion, allowing customers to scale their energy storage capacity according to project requirements,” Wasiu said during his presentation at the Lagos launch. He added that TranESS is committed to empowering businesses across Nigeria with technologies that will lower operating expenses and support long-term sustainability targets.
Industry analysts say the introduction of advanced energy storage solutions like DYQUE could help Nigerian companies reduce reliance on diesel generators and mitigate losses from frequent power outages. The move comes as businesses nationwide grapple with rising energy costs and seek more sustainable alternatives amid volatile naira exchange rates.
TranESS has urged stakeholders in the commercial and industrial sectors to consider modern energy storage as a pathway towards improved productivity and cost efficiency. The company said it will continue expanding its product offerings in Nigeria’s growing renewable energy market.

One suspect hospitalised after attempted escape as police recover stolen electric cables along Ibabu–Ugiliamai Road
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two individuals suspected of vandalising electric cables in Ndokwa West Local Government Area on Tuesday, 25 June. The suspects were apprehended around 10:30pm along the Ibabu–Ugiliamai Road following a joint operation involving officers from Kwale Police Station and members of the local vigilante group.
According to a statement issued by Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the security team acted swiftly on credible intelligence that some persons were removing and stealing electric cables in the area. Upon sighting law enforcement, the suspects attempted to flee the scene, resulting in one of them sustaining injuries during the pursuit. The injured suspect is currently receiving medical attention, while the other is in police custody.
Cable vandalism has become a significant concern in Delta State and across Nigeria, often leading to prolonged power outages and financial losses for communities. The state government has repeatedly called for increased vigilance by residents and closer collaboration with security agencies to combat such crimes.
SP Edafe stated that investigations are ongoing to determine if other individuals are involved in the syndicate. “We urge members of the public to continue providing timely information that can help us protect public infrastructure,” Edafe said in Thursday’s press release.
The police command assured residents that efforts will be intensified to prevent further incidents of cable theft in Ndokwa West and neighbouring communities. Authorities also reminded residents that anyone found engaging in vandalism or aiding such activities would face prosecution according to Nigerian law.

Trump Claims US Military Strikes in Borno Prevented Mass Killing of Christians by ISWAP
Former US president says American intervention curbed attacks; Nigerian government yet to issue official response
Former US president says American intervention curbed attacks; Nigerian government yet to issue official response
Former United States President Donald Trump has stated that military strikes authorised by his administration in Borno State helped prevent the mass killing of Christians by militants linked to Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). Trump made this assertion on Friday during an event held in Washington, where he defended his decision to target terrorist groups operating in Nigeria’s North-East region.
According to Trump, the US military operations significantly reduced attacks on Christian communities in Borno and neighbouring states, which had been facing repeated assaults from ISWAP fighters. He said, “As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations. They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered—thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hacked to death.”
Trump added that the American intervention sent a strong warning to the militants responsible for these attacks. He claimed the strikes discouraged further violence against religious minorities in the region. The former president did not provide specific details regarding the timing or scale of the US operations referenced.
The Nigerian government and security agencies are yet to release any official statement confirming the reported strikes or commenting on Trump’s claims as at press time. In previous years, Borno State and other parts of North-East Nigeria have witnessed repeated attacks targeting both Muslim and Christian communities by various armed groups, including ISWAP and Boko Haram.
Security analysts say international military cooperation is often conducted discreetly and that foreign involvement in counter-insurgency operations can carry both diplomatic and security implications for Nigeria. The opposition could not be immediately reached for comment regarding Trump’s statements.
