Flux Power & Automation launches smart energy management system in Ghana

Flux Power & Automation has introduced Smappee Infinity, a smart energy management system, to the Ghanaian market. This Belgian-developed technology, brought to Ghana through a partnership with European cleantech company Smappee, aims to help businesses and institutions monitor electricity consumption in real time.

The system offers remote control of electrical equipment and automates energy use, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Unlike traditional utility bills that provide only aggregate data, Smappee Infinity offers detailed visibility into how electricity is consumed by individual appliances and equipment. Organizations can use a digital dashboard and mobile app to identify inefficiencies, track past consumption, and make informed decisions to optimize energy use.

Most businesses only see their electricity bill at the end of the month. They do not know which equipment is consuming excess power or where inefficiencies exist. Smappee Infinity provides that visibility, allowing organisations to reduce waste, lower costs and improve overall energy performance.

Kwasi Tetteh Akrobettoe, CEO of Flux Power & Automation, highlighted the lack of detailed energy consumption information for many businesses in Ghana. "Most businesses only see their electricity bill at the end of the month. They do not know which equipment is consuming excess power or where inefficiencies exist," he stated. "Smappee Infinity provides that visibility, allowing organisations to reduce waste, lower costs and improve overall energy performance."

Akrobettoe explained that the decision to introduce the technology followed research into local energy management challenges. The Smappee Infinity system integrates monitoring, control, and automation. It works with both existing and smart electrical equipment, enabling efficiency improvements without requiring the replacement of current assets. Beyond cost savings, the platform also supports sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. The system received approval from the Ghana Standards Authority after a pilot at the Lakeside Estate Sales Office in Accra.

I found that many organisations simply could not monitor their energy consumption in real time. That led us to partner with Smappee to bring this solution to the Ghanaian market.
