Powered by the untapped potential of Kenya’s 10 gigawatts of geothermal energy, the mega data centre is the first of its kind in scale and ambition.
EcoCloud and G42 have joined forces to set up a geothermal-powered data centre destined to revolutionise the digital landscape not just in East Africa, but across the globe.
Amos Siwoi, CEO of EcoCloud said, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainability and innovation. By harnessing the power of geothermal energy, we are not only meeting the region’s data needs but also setting a new standard for eco-friendly infrastructure. This partnership underscores our dedication to a greener, more sustainable future for Africa and beyond.”
Peng Xiao, Group CEO of G42 said, “In establishing this strategic partnership with EcoCloud, G42 is proud to be at the forefront of combining groundbreaking technology with sustainability. This geothermal-powered data centre is a milestone towards realizing Kenya’s potential as a global digital hub and fulfilling our mission of making intelligence accessible to everyone, everywhere.”
Strategically located in Kenya’s geothermal-rich region, the EcoCloud-G42 Mega Data Center is planned to have initial capacity of 100 MW, but with the potential to build up to 1 Gigawatt, setting a new standard for sustainable data centres.
This initiative is not just an investment in technology but a bold statement of Kenya’s commitment to harnessing renewable energy for technological advancement. Powered by the untapped potential of Kenya’s 10 gigawatts of geothermal energy, the mega data centre is the first of its kind in scale and ambition, heralding a new era of green energy-driven digital infrastructure.
