Akute Power Limited

Akute Power Limited is a project company set up to develop and operate a 12.15MW Independent Power Plant (4Nos. 3MW gas-fuelled engines) for Lagos Water Corporation in Akute. This development also incorporates the construction of a 13km natural gas pipeline which delivers natural gas to the facility.

The power plant has helped the Lagos Water Corporation to achieve a 300% increase in its existing capacity utilization, through the delivery of 24 hours uninterrupted electricity supply to its two main water treatment plants (Head Works) at Iju and Adiyan in Lagos State. Both the Iju and Adiyan water treatment plants account for approximately 72% of the total capacity of Lagos Water Corporation.

Lagos State has reported potential savings of about N600 million per annum based on the services enjoyed from the Akute Power Plant, whilst ensuring that many Lagosians have access to uninterrupted supply of potable water to their homes.
