Overview

Africa Data Centres' first Rwanda facility, announced November 2022 with 2 MW of IT load, in Kigali.

Why it matters

Announced 28 November 2022 by Africa Data Centres (a Cassava Technologies business) as its first facility in Rwanda: 2 MW of IT load, groundbreaking targeted for Q1 2023. Third-party registers (baxtel, inflect) list the site as KGL1 with roughly 2.5 MW of total power. No ready-for-service announcement has been located as of 22 September 2026; the 22 Sep editorial review holds the record as Unsupported pending a primary source.

Where marketing and evidence diverge

Status divergence: announced with Q1 2023 groundbreaking and a 2 MW IT-load design, but no opening has been announced in the 3+ years since, and no independent confirmation of construction progress has been located. Staged as Under Construction on the strength of the operator announcement alone; revisit on any RFS news.

Last editorial evidence review: 2026-09-22

Editor decision, 2026-09-22: DataCentre254 currently lacks sufficient authoritative evidence to verify an operational (or completed) Africa Data Centres facility identified as KGL1 in Kigali. Held as Unsupported; non-existence is NOT asserted. The record stays on hold pending a primary source (a new ADC facility page, a completion notice, or independent confirmation). PAIX has a separately documented Kigali presence.
