Eko Atlantic City

Nestled in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, Eko Atlantic City is positioned to become a thriving commercial and residential hub, designed to accommodate over 300,000 residents and attract an estimated 250,000 daily commuters.

Speaking on the project’s transformative impact, Joanna Fabikun, Head of Corporate Communications, Eko Atlantic City, stated: “Eko Atlantic City represents the future of urban living in Nigeria. With Schneider Electric and Eko Utilities Nigeria Limited, we are developing a city that prioritises innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic growth.

“Thousands of trees have been planted to combat climate change, while smart energy solutions ensure a greener and more resilient Lagos alongside a lifestyle, a community, and a future that offers limitless possibilities,” she said.

By guaranteeing that Africa's fastest-growing megacity has a dependable and resilient power infrastructure, the strategic partnership will set new benchmarks for intelligent and sustainable urban living in Nigeria, the company revealed, in line with UN SDG 11 of Building Sustainable Cities and Communities.

“As Eko Atlantic City moves into its fifth development phase, Schneider Electric plays a crucial role in securing 99 per cent electricity availability for the city’s businesses and residents. Through Eko Utilities Nigeria Limited, the city’s dedicated power provider, an independent electricity generation facility is under development, capable of generating power at 11kV and scaling up to 132kV,’’ the company said.
