Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for a 100kVA diesel generator in Nigeria?

A 100kVA diesel generator with a Yuchai or Weichai engine in open or silent configuration typically ranges from $4,500 to $8,500 FOB. Cummins or Perkins powered units range from $8,000 to $14,000 depending on enclosure, controller and alternator. CIF Lagos pricing includes freight and insurance. Contact POLKINS with your load details for an exact quotation.

Why do generator prices vary so much between suppliers?

Price differences reflect engine brand (Yuchai vs Cummins), alternator quality, controller type, enclosure standard, fuel tank size, ATS inclusion, accessories and warranty terms. Lower-cost generators may use thinner steel, basic controllers or unbranded alternators. Always compare the full specification, not just the headline price.

Does the quoted price include delivery to Nigeria?

FOB (Free on Board) pricing covers the generator cost at the factory port. CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) includes shipping to Lagos or Apapa. DDP pricing includes customs, port handling and inland delivery. POLKINS can quote under FOB, CIF or DDP terms depending on buyer preference. Installation and commissioning are quoted separately.

How can I reduce the total cost of a generator project in Nigeria?

Choosing a Chinese engine brand (Yuchai, Weichai) over premium brands can reduce unit cost by 30–50% while maintaining acceptable quality. Proper sizing prevents overspending on an oversized generator. Ordering an ATS-ready configuration and stocking critical spare parts reduces installation and downtime costs. POLKINS can recommend a cost-effective configuration for your project.
