Why 24/7 Power Matters: A generator failure mid-event can cost you ₦100,000+ in diesel alone, not to mention the disruption. Venues with reliable power save you: generator rental (₦50,000-₦150,000), diesel costs (₦30,000-₦100,000), and the stress of managing power switches during key moments.
Questions to Ask Venues About Power: How many backup generators do you have? What is the switchover time? Is the power cost included in the venue fee or charged separately? Have you experienced any power failures during events in the past year?
