PAIX Data Centres expands capacity in Ghana to 1.2 MW

PAIX Data Centres, a leading pan-African developer and operator of data centres, today announced the expansion of its facility in Accra to 1.2 MW, in a critical boost to the digital economy that will support connectivity and economic growth.

Africa50, the pan-African infrastructure investor and asset manager has invested over $30 million in growth equity in PAIX Data Centres to support the company's expansion into new markets and upgrade current facilities. 

The expanded PAIX data centre, now one of the largest in Ghana, will help internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and enterprises fully take advantage of robust digital infrastructure and improved connectivity, enabling the African business community to thrive in the digital era. It is estimated that only between 10% and 30% of effective data centre demand in sub-Saharan Africa is being serviced today.
