PAIX Data Centres has increased its capacity in Ghana to 1.2 MW to assist in meeting increasing demand for access to digital infrastructure.

The Ghana data centre is now one of the country’s largest, and will improve access for internet service providers, cloud providers, and entrepreneurs to the digital infrastructure and increased connectivity necessary for online businesses to grow.

According to PAIX, the existing installed capacity of 250MW would need to be greatly enhanced to fulfil the rapidly expanding demand for data, with consumption predicted to rise by 40% annually until 2025. The upgraded facility includes enhanced cooling and waste management technologies, as well as increased integration of renewable energy as a power source, to improve environmental effect.

“As one of Africa’s digital economy hotspots, Accra plays a vital role in driving innovation and growth across various industries,” said Bright Tawiah, managing director, PAIX Data Centres, Ghana.
