  ABSTRACT: It is no longer news that the Nigerian Power sector is inundated with myriads of challenges to satisfy the energy needs of consumers. In this paper, an energy audit assessment of standalone PV system “a case study of heartland radio broadcasting station” is conducted which offered the most accurate estimate of energy savings, cost and provided uninterrupted power to the Broadcasting Station. The results obtained showed that the annual electricity bill of the broadcasting house dropped reasonably from N9,402,832.71 to N2,286,410.3 between the current and recommended load, while the total annual saving of electricity bill stands at N7,116,422.40. This is a clear indication that the energy audit carried out actually reduced the cost of energy consumption of the station.
