Eko Atlantic City Utilities is transforming urban power delivery with cutting-edge energy infrastructure designed for reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. As the city rapidly develops, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality electricity has become a top priority - and Eko Atlantic City is leading the way with smart, resilient power solutions.
State-of-the-Art Power Centre for Reliable Energy
The dedicated Power Centre at Eko Atlantic City is nearing completion, featuring a 33 kV substation and a 12 MVA power plant. This advanced facility integrates:
- 34 Schneider Electric panels for precise distribution control
- Six MTU Rolls-Royce gas engines for efficient power generation
- 36,000 SMC compressed natural gas (CNG) storage system to ensure energy stability
Once fully operational, the Power Centre will support a 12 MVA electrical load and energize 48 km of underground cable loops across Phases I and II of Eko Atlantic City. This project represents the first in a series of strategic power generation initiatives aimed at delivering world-class energy reliability across the city.
In addition, Eko Atlantic's core utilities are designed to meet international standards, powered by a 70 MW power plant, expandable to 1.5 GW, ensuring a reliable and scalable energy supply to meet future demands.
The city also features:
- Centralized sewage collection and treatment systems
- Sustainable waste management infrastructure
These systems reinforce Eko Atlantic City's commitment to environmental responsibility and long-term urban resilience.
