As part of its effort to encourage the utilisation of
renewable energy in Nigeria and also drive its local presence in the downstream
sector of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, Petrocam Trading Nigeria Limited has opened
its fifth solar powered filling station in Lagos.
Before its current drive to penetrate the local market, the
company’s major focus was importing refined petroleum products such as petrol,
gasoil, kerosene, naphtha, lubricants and greases for the oil marketing
companies in Nigeria.
But in a renewed drive to tap into the local market, the
company has opened another solar-powered filling station at Canoe Road, Ajao
Estate thus bringing to five the company’s filling stations that are
solar-powered in Lagos. Gennex Technologies is the provider of solar solutions
for Petrocam Stations.
The station has five metric tonnes gas skid and four
underground tanks with 45,000 litres capacity each, three tanks for PMS and one
tank for Automated Gas Oil (AGO).
Speaking exclusively with BrandInfo, the Admin and Sales
Manager, Petrocam Trading Nigeria Limited,
Eyo Oghogho said that they keep investing in solar powered filling
station because solar installations are environment friendly.
She noted that they are making use of the natural resources
which is the sunlight and it is very important common with the tropics where
Nigeria is, adding that they are just making use of the available natural
resources that the environment has and
at the same time doing an environment friendly installation.
While commenting on what distinguished Petrocam from other
filling stations, Oghogho said; “We are special when it comes to aesthetics.
Our filling stations are very beautifully planned. The canopies are space out
most important because of the effect of the sun. We want to get a good angle to
the sun. Aside the aesthetics which is
the beauty, Petrocam also stand for customer loyalty. We try to give the best
to our customers. We do not cheat our customers. We do not tamper with pump.”
“We also have one stock energy outlet where you can have
your petrol, diesel, gas, lubricant and grease. You can always get whatever you
need when it comes to petroleum products at Petrocam. Our attendants are well
trained in customer service. They don’t ask for extra money from customers or
extra charges on keg. We have been able to put our foot down even during the
time of fuel scarcity we ensure that people are not cheated and the station is
not rowdy leading to uproar.
She disclosed that they have decided to spread out to other
part of the country, adding that they have plans to move out to Ibadan,
Abeokuta and some other part of the country.
“Presently Petrcoam
is in strategic locations particularly at the exit point. If you are going out
of Lagos through Epe you will see us in Ajah and Lekki. If you are going to
Abeokuta you will see us in Pleasure bus-stop,’’ she stated.
Petrocam Trading (Pty) Ltd prides itself as an entity focused
on commodity trading in Africa and “has in the last 10 years developed
invaluable and competitive experience in operating in developing countries and
has cemented its ability to facilitate trade in emerging and developing
markets, relating to African import and export flows of commodities.
