Africa's data centre capacity is announced faster than it is energised
Every colocation, hyperscale and sovereign facility we can trace, with the megawatts named, the capital attached and the status kept honest. 22 rows, 16 of them with no published capacity.

Capacity, country, timeline and investment
Capacity is counted only where a source publishes a megawatt figure. Project maturity and investment amounts stay in separate views.
6.4 MW serving load · 16 of 22 project rows have no published capacity
The register contains 806.4 MW of named project capacity. Cross-border project totals are counted once here; the country view does not apportion them. The country and status filters apply to the country, projects, timeline and investment views.

Country totals use only projects attributed to one country. Shared or pan-African capacity is excluded, not divided.
Announcement dates are not commissioning dates. “Operational” is shown only where the source record says it serves load.
Reported facility CAPEX, local-currency amounts, committed capital and investment targets are listed as separate fields; they are not combined.
No project row in this register does not mean a country has no data centres. Capacity without a published figure remains “No information.”

How this record is kept
What counts as a project
Named facilities and announced projects are recorded with their stated scope. Colocation resold from another operator’s floor is excluded where it would count the same megawatt twice. Portfolio capital raises are not site capacity.
What counts as serving load
A facility is treated as operational when the record has evidence it serves customer load. Announcements, permits and ribbon-cuttings do not count as serving capacity.
Known gaps
16 of 22 project rows carry no published megawatt figure. Shared or pan-African capacity is not split between countries. Continental estimates (360 MW active and 238 MW under construction) have a different scope and reporting snapshot. They cannot be compared with this register’s total across delivery statuses.

Evidence on use, work, costs and compute
This collection preserves each source’s population, period and definition. Estimates, survey responses, vacancies and provider claims remain separate. Coverage is incomplete.
Operating facilities and compute services
A starter review of operating assets and services. The Infrastructure project pipeline tracks a different set of announcements; this is not a national or continental capacity total. Rated MW, GPU inventory and actual load are different measures.
Critical IT capacity at reviewed completed sites — 1/1 records with information
Selected site evidence, not a national inventory. Rated critical IT capacity is not actual load, GPU capacity or an Africa total.
Operator completion statement, 2025-08-12 · operator_statement · measured · Teraco JB4 expansion completion
Operator reports completion of a 30 MW addition, bringing the JB4 campus to 50 MW critical IT capacity. Total and increment must not be added. Rated capacity is not actual electricity consumption or AI-specific compute.
