Abu Dhabi-based AI outfit <\/strong>G42<\/a><\/strong> has inked <\/strong>an<\/strong> MoU with Kenya\u2019s <\/strong>EcoCloud<\/a><\/strong> to establish a <\/strong>100 MW sustainable data center in Kenya powered by geothermal energy<\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a> released last week. The data center will eventually have a storage capacity of up to 1 GW. No investment ticket or timeline for the project were disclosed as part of the statement. <\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The hub will be strategically located in Kenya\u2019s geothermal-rich region, enabling it to be powered by geothermal energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and curbing carbon emissions. Aside from infrastructure investments, the partnership will also promote the development of cloud computing and AI services, in a bid to unlock growth and support the development of Kenya\u2019s digital economy. <\/p>\n

G42 is doubling down on data infrastructure investments in Africa: <\/strong>The company inked<\/a> an agreement with Mauritania\u2019s Digital Transformation, Innovation, and Modernization Ministry in mid-2023 to develop and improve the country\u2019s national data center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
