Data Centers & Energy Nexus Africa’s digital economy is rising. Tier-3 data centers require reliable energy inputs—often co-located with clean power sources.
Case Snapshot: Solar + Data in East Africa We advised on a hybrid solar power plant with a 50MW output alongside a Tier-3 data center, attracting private equity and export finance backing.
