Overview
Safaricom's newer three-building campus at Red Hill, Limuru, the strongest certification position in Kenya, with phase one completed March 2025.
Why it matters
Described by Safaricom as a three-building campus "built to Tier III standards", with phase one completed in March 2025 and phase two targeted for January 2026.
Where marketing and evidence diverge
"2.8 MW" circulating in press coverage is the end-of-phase-two target (January 2026), no fetched source confirms phase two actually completed on that date, so treat 2.8 MW as planned rather than commissioned capacity.
Certification position: Uptime's directory shows Red Hill holding both a Tier III Design certificate (expiring 2027) and a Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility awarded 26 March 2024, meaning Uptime inspected the finished building, not just the drawings. The strongest formal certification record of any commercial operator facility in Kenya.
