Jubaili Bros Engineering Nigeria, a company that started in the early 1990s as a modest diesel generator supplier, has transformed into a continental leader championing Nigeria's transition to cleaner, more reliable energy. Recognized as one of Nigeria's Most Transformative Companies, the firm is now at the forefront of deploying pragmatic and visionary power solutions across Africa.
From Humble Roots to Continental Powerhouse
What began as an effort to plug gaps in Nigeria's erratic power supply has evolved into a major force with operations in eleven countries and a workforce exceeding 1,500 people. The company supports its expansive market presence with four manufacturing plants strategically located across Africa and the Middle East. This broad footprint provides Jubaili Bros with the deep technical expertise and regional insight necessary to navigate Nigeria's complex and volatile energy landscape.
Today, the company's engineers are relentlessly refining hybrid and solar-driven systems designed to deliver a steadier and greener grid. Their focus is on creating "quiet revolutions"—modular solar arrays that can be assembled in days, intelligent systems that switch seamlessly between diesel and renewables, and advanced battery storage to manage demand peaks. For many hospitals, schools, and small businesses, these innovations represent a critical lifeline after decades of unreliable electricity.
Strategic Alliances for a Greener Future
Jubaili Bros' transformative impact is amplified through high-impact strategic partnerships. The company played a pivotal role in launching Nigeria's first fully integrated electric-mobility ecosystem by collaborating with the EV platform EV24 Africa and Illigo. Furthermore, a significant collaboration with Perkins in November 2025 introduced a new suite of large-scale, low-carbon power generation units to the market.
These alliances underscore a core mission: to embed eco-friendly practices throughout the entire energy value chain. This mission translates into products ranging from high-efficiency generators that consume less fuel to comprehensive solar-hybrid installations that significantly cut emissions without compromising on reliability.
Driving Sustainability Through Innovation and Regulation
In an interview following The Guardian's recognition, Nabil Suleiman, General Manager of Jubaili Bros Engineering Nigeria, highlighted the company's unwavering commitment. "At Jubaili Bros, sustainability is not an agenda; it is a responsibility," Suleiman stated. He emphasized that their goal is to deliver power solutions that support Africa's growth while protecting both communities and the environment.
Suleiman pointed to the Electricity Act of 2023 as a major positive catalyst for renewable energy in Nigeria. The Act, by decentralizing the market and empowering states and private players, has strengthened Jubaili Bros' ability to scale up solar projects, particularly mini-grids and hybrid systems. The clearer regulatory framework has boosted investment, accelerated approvals, and increased customer confidence in making the switch to solar power.
Looking ahead, the company is heavily investing in research and development to optimize its hybrid systems and explore emerging technologies like green hydrogen. This aims to build a diversified portfolio of power solutions that can adapt to Nigeria's evolving needs, ensuring access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity for years to come. Jubaili Bros is not just selling products; it is actively redefining what reliable power means for millions of Nigerians.
