Description
Description | Microsoft, in partnership with UAE-based AI firm G42, planned a $1 billion AI data center in Kenya's Rift Valley at the Olkaria region. The project aimed to start with 100 megawatts capacity and scale up to 1 gigawatt. However, the project has stalled due to Kenya's government not committing to the annual capacity payment required by Microsoft. The data center's power requirements are significant enough to potentially switch off half the country, raising concerns about Kenya's national power grid capacity and infrastructure readiness. |
