Jubaili Bros drives Nigeria’s energy transition with innovative power solutions

Lagos, Nigeria — Committed to tackling Nigeria’s enduring power challenges, Jubaili Bros Engineering Limited has unveiled its latest portfolio of advanced energy solutions during a seminar held in Lagos.

The engineering and power solutions firm announced its strategic expansion into hybrid energy systems and cleaner fuel technologies, positioning itself to serve the evolving needs of businesses across telecommunications, financial services, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.

Speaking at the event, Ahmed Dahshi, Group Product Manager and Head of Operations for Jubaili Bros Nigeria, outlined the company’s holistic approach to energy delivery—ranging from small-scale generators to large turbine installations.

“We are trying to stay ahead of the market by introducing new products and providing our customers with innovative solutions,” Dahshi said. “Our vision is to pioneer energy systems that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.”

Highlighting the company’s long-standing partnership with Perkins Engines Company Limited, Dahshi revealed that Jubaili Bros remains the world’s largest single dealer for Perkins engines in the electric power segment.

As a self-service Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Jubaili Bros benefits from direct access to Perkins’ technical resources, training programmes, and aftermarket support infrastructure. The company also manages warranty services independently, liaising directly with Perkins’ UK headquarters—without third-party involvement.

The seminar also featured the introduction of Perkins’ new 5000 Series engines, an electronic control platform designed for standby power applications in hospitals, data centres, telecommunications, and microgrids.

Addressing Nigeria’s growing demand for cleaner energy, Nabil Suleiman, General Manager of Jubaili Bros, underscored the company’s **strategic pivot towards hybrid and renewable energy systems.

“In recent years, the trend has clearly moved towards hybrid, solar, and renewable solutions,” Suleiman said. “We’ve invested in gas-powered, renewable, and hybrid solar systems to give customers more options while reducing emissions.”

This sustainability-focused approach aligns with the company’s integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its core operations. Jubaili Bros has formed partnerships with leading gas generation technology providers and invested in alternative fuels, particularly hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO)—a renewable diesel substitute that delivers lower emissions without compromising performance.

The company successfully tested generator sets running on HVO for 1,000 hours, validating both performance and reliability, and offering Nigerian businesses a practical path to reduce their carbon footprint.

With manufacturing facilities in Lebanon, Dubai, and Nigeria, Jubaili Bros’ local operations support the assembly and customisation of power systems tailored to specific customer requirements—from concept to commissioning.

“We are investing heavily in our people, enhancing training on new technologies, and upgrading our systems to stay aligned with global innovation,” Suleiman added. “Our international partnerships allow us to adapt cutting-edge solutions to local realities.”

Amid Nigeria’s continued electricity supply shortfall, many industries rely heavily on backup generation. The telecommunications sector alone operates thousands of base stations powered by diesel generators, while financial institutions, hospitals, and factories maintain substantial standby capacity.

Jubaili Bros’ expanded product range aims to address these challenges with a diverse portfolio encompassing diesel and gas-powered systems, alongside hybrid solar solutions that integrate renewable energy with traditional generation.

“By understanding the unique needs of each sector, we’re able to deliver tailored energy solutions, Suleiman said. “Our long-standing experience across telecommunications, finance, oil and gas, and industry enhances our ability to serve these markets effectively.”
