    The President of Ghana, Hon. Nana Akufo-Addo has hailed the decision of Africa Data Centres to commence the construction of a new data center in the Central Business District of Accra, Ghana.

    The President noted that the establishment of Africa Data Centre’s new 10MW data center, in the heart of Accra, is a significant step towards bridging the infrastructure gap and developing further Ghana’s digital economy.

    “This investment and the Government’s drive at digitising all sectors of the economy will enable us to increase our capacity to access digital services, and help even more to attract foreign direct investment into our economy,” he said.

    Africa Data Centres (ADC) announced in a statement that it will soon commence the construction of a new facility on a part of the former Trade Fair showgrounds site, one of the key central locations in the city

    The statement disclosed that the new facility has been designed for an initial 10 MW, which can expand to 30MW depending on demand, adding that the facility will be the largest facility in West Africa to date, outside of Nigeria.

    “Our new data center in Ghana is a significant step towards Africa Data Centres’ goal of narrowing the digital divide in the West Africa region. Hyper-scale data centers, preferred by major US tech companies, multinational corporations, banks and other local enterprises, are the specialty of Africa Data Centres. Additionally, our data centers are supported with independent solar and battery storage power, enabling us to bring digital technologies whilst mitigating our environmental impact,” said Tesh Durvasula, CEO of Africa Data Centres in the statement.

    Data centers are the foundation of digitally-led economic growth around the world; developing sustainable and self-sufficient ICT ecosystems is impossible without them. The new facility will be built on a part of the former Trade Fair showgrounds site, one of the key central locations in the city. The first phase is scheduled to be completed within 12 months.

    This new facility is part of Africa Data Centres’ continental expansion plans spanning 10 of Africa’s major economic hubs, including South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Rwanda, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Angola. This unrivaled expansion, partly funded by the United States government’s U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), is a significant initiative to accelerate private sector-led digital infrastructure and services in Africa.
