Projects
Building Ondo’s Energy and
Blue Economy Future
From the fishing coastlines of Ilaje LGA to the industrial heartland of Ondo City, Eki Energy is developing infrastructure that will reshape Ondo State’s economy for a generation.
Integrated Fishing Hub –
Giving 17 Communities a New Future
11 Integrated Components
Jetty & Fish Landing Quay
Primary docking and offloading infrastructure for fishing vessels from across the 17-community coastline. Designed for multiple vessels simultaneously, eliminating post-harvest chaos and reducing spoilage at the first point in the value chain.
Cold Rooms
Nigeria loses 30–40% of its fish catch annually to post-harvest spoilage. Industrial-grade cold storage powered by the hub’s dedicated generation unit preserves catch quality from landing to processing, independent of the national grid.
Ice Plant
Continuous on-site ice production for vessel supply and cold storage. Fishermen depart with ice in their holds, meaning preservation begins at sea. Women’s cooperatives receive priority, subsidized access to block ice as a core CSR commitment.
Processing Factory
Full value-adding operations – cleaning, filleting, smoking, drying, and specialty processing to international food safety standards. Where Ilaje’s catch becomes a market-ready product and the largest gains in revenue-per-kilogram are unlocked.
Fish Feed Mill
On-site production of high-quality fish feed for the hub’s aquaculture operations. Rather than importing feed at a premium, the mill also supplies smallholder fish farmers across the wider Ilaje area, reducing input costs for the region.
Dedicated Power Plant
Every element of the hub is powered by a dedicated on-site generation unit, eliminating dependency on Nigeria’s unreliable national grid. Five percent of total output is directed to host communities as part of the hub’s embedded CSR mandate.
Water Treatment Plant
Certified-quality water for all processing operations meeting international hygiene standards. Beyond its commercial function, the plant’s output is made available to host communities – delivering clean water access to riverine households.
Packaging & Export Facility
NAFDAC-certified, export-grade packaging for domestic premium retail and international buyers. Closes the final gap in the value chain – transforming processed product into shelf-ready goods for markets in Europe, Asia, and across West Africa.
Training Centre
Certified vocational education in fish processing, cold chain operation, aquaculture management, quality control, and export compliance. Priority enrolment for Ilaje LGA indigenes – youth and women – building a permanent, skilled local workforce.
Market Stalls
A permanent, organised wholesale and retail fish market within the hub provides a hygienic trading environment – replacing informal roadside selling with structured, regulated trading that delivers better pricing and consistent product quality.
Worker Housing
Purpose-built residential quarters for permanent and rotating staff, making the facility viable as a 24-hour operation and removing the logistical barrier of the remote coastal location for skilled technical and management personnel.
Embedded CSR Commitments
Ice for Women’s Cooperatives
Free or heavily subsidized ice block supply to registered women’s cooperatives in all 17 host communities, addressing one of the most acute problems facing women fish traders.
Community Power Allocation
5% of the hub’s total power output allocated to host communities at subsidized tariff rates, bringing reliable electricity access to households and small businesses long underserved by the national grid.
Ilaje Community Trust Fund
2–3% of annual net profits channelled annually into the Ilaje Community Development Trust Fund, providing a permanent, self-sustaining development resource for the host communities.
80 MW Pyrolysis Waste-to-Energy Power Plant –
Turning Ondo’s Waste Problem into the Grid’s Next Opportunity
Pyrolysis-to-Power: The Technology Explained
Waste Feedstock Collection
470 tonnes of polyolefin plastics and end-of-life tires are collected and delivered to the plant each day. Feedstock is sorted, shredded, and prepared for thermal processing. The consistent, high-calorie nature of plastics and rubber makes this fuel supply more reliable than many conventional fuels.
Pyrolysis Thermal Conversion
In oxygen-free, high-temperature pyrolysis reactors, the feedstock undergoes thermal decomposition – breaking complex polymers into simpler, energy-dense compounds: pyrolysis gas (a combustible synthetic gas) and pyrolysis oil, a liquid fuel comparable to light diesel.
Dual-Fuel Turbine Generation
Pyrolysis gas and oil are fed into high-efficiency gas turbine generators configured for dual-fuel operation. The 80 MW gross installed capacity – delivering 60 MW net export — positions this as one of the most significant private power assets in Ondo State.
Grid Export via NERC REFIT PPA
Generated power is wheeled to the national grid under a Power Purchase Agreement through the NERC Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff framework, at $154.71/MWh – providing investors with bankable, predictable revenue of $81.3 million per year.
Four Sectors. One Integrated Vision.
Eki Energy operates across four interconnected sectors, each pursued through commercially viable, scalable projects designed to generate investor returns while delivering measurable development outcomes across Nigeria.

Permit & Approval Status
Built With the Community.
Endorsed by the Community.
Genuine infrastructure impact requires community buy-in, not just regulatory approval. Eki Energy has formally engaged the people whose lives these projects will transform — long before ground breaks.
“We have nearly concluded our Partnership with EKI Energy Ltd. We are now working on the MOU and other working relationships.”
Ilaje Mahin Coastal Communities Development Initiative
Mahin Kingdom, Ilaje LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria
A CAC-registered non-governmental organisation representing the fishermen, coastal farmers, and riverine communities of Mahin Kingdom — the very people who will benefit from and co-exist with EKI’s Fishing Hub and Waste-to-Energy projects.
