Eko Atlantic, Lagos

4 units of 1.5MW MTU Generators

Client Background

Eko Atlantic, known as the new economic capital of Africa, is a visionary real estate development built on 10 million square meters of reclaimed land in Lagos. Designed to be a modern city powered by cutting-edge technology and sustainable infrastructure, Eko Atlantic required a reliable, scalable, and future-proof power solution to meet the demands of its growing sectors and residents.

The Challenge

Eko Atlantic needed a robust and efficient power infrastructure capable of supplying 5 MW across its various operations while ensuring low noise levels, high reliability, and quick installation. The client also required a system with a long operational lifespan and minimal maintenance to support continuous development activities within the city.

The Solution

Mikano International Limited, a trusted leader in power generation solutions, designed and deployed a 6 MW power system using four MTU 12V4000L64FNER generators, each delivering 1.5 MW.

These generators were supplied in fully containerized, soundproof units, assembled by Mikano’s technical team, ensuring a faster setup and reduced operational noise. The design emphasized performance, longevity, and energy efficiency; key for a project of Eko Atlantic’s scale.

We designed and deployed a 6 MW power system with the following key elements:

4 units of MTU 12V4000L64FNER generators, each delivering 1.5 MW, providing a total of 6 MW.

Fully containerized and soundproof units.

All mechanical, electrical, and control systems assembled by Mikano’s expert technical team.

Optimized design for high performance, extended lifetime (up to 84,000 hours), and improved fuel efficiency.

Future-proof power setup, built to support the large-scale operations and long-term development of Eko Atlantic City.
