Description
Description | Microsoft's planned $1 billion data center in Kenya has stalled after talks with the Kenyan government broke down over the company's request for guaranteed payments. The government was asked to guarantee annual purchases of a fixed level of computing capacity, but failed to meet the threshold required. The project may be scaled back, with discussions ongoing about power requirements and a smaller 60-megawatt facility with local developer EcoCloud under consideration. The project originated from a 2024 agreement for a geothermal-powered campus starting at roughly 100 megawatts, with a long-term target of scaling up to 1 gigawatt. The first phase was expected to be operational in 2026. |
