The promoter of International Imperial Business City (IIBC),
ChannelDrill Resources Limited, has plans to build an
independent electricity project to power the development.

The IIBC is a planned smart city located on a 200 hectare
expanse of land in Ikate Kingdom to be reclaimed from the
Lagos Lagoon.

The city is designed to have uninterrupted power supply from
clean energy sources, according to the Managing Director of
ChannelDrill, Mr. Olufemi Akioye, who explained that the IPP
in the smart city would ensure it is self- sustaining. “Besides,
the use of IPP within the city will ensure that there is no need
for the use of generators by inhabitants of the city, leading to
clean energy.”

Also included in the city’s master-plan is the construction of
a waste treatment plant that would produce methane for use
in the production of more electricity or cooking gas.

“Electricity will be available on 24/7 basis; cooking gas will
also be piped into each building thereby eliminating the usage
of gas cylinders in the city,” Akioye explained.

He said, “Due to power supply intermittency, the developers
have assumed that Lagos does not have capacity to uptake
the new demand levels of the island. Therefore, a new intake
substation on the Island would be supplied directly from an
existing substation on the mainland via a subsea cable.
”
He said this would act as a secondary supply to the city and
could potentially be used to export surplus electricity to the
existing Lagos distribution network.


Akioye said exhaust gasses from the generators used in the
IPP would be treated by a dedicated gas cleaning plant to
ensure that fumes released into the atmosphere complied with
international standards. “Secondary power will be generated
by alternative sources such as waste to power plants, while
the fuel that is, liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be supplied to
the city via barges. Fuel will be pumped into bulk fuel storage
bays via pipelines from the coast. Bulk storage feeds into a
treatment plant before entering generator supply streams,” he
explained.
He said, “The infrastructure consultants to the project, Mott
MacDonald Limited, London, United Kingdom, are also
banking on past project experience on past Master Plans that
were executed in climatic conditions similar to those of Lagos
to estimate power density figures.”
He said this would be calculated for each load zone based on
land allocation. “We are aware that air-conditioning is a large
element within power demand in a highbrow area like the
IIBC, so preliminary load estimate per plot is 100MVA.”
