Beyond the Grid: Natural Gas and the Next Generation of African Data Centers
As hyperscale operators and digital infrastructure investors seek reliable, resilient and cost-competitive power, Africa's data-centre boom is creating demand for a broader mix of baseload and dispatchable energy solutions. This discussion will explore the role of natural gas, nuclear, coal, hydro, geothermal, storage and hybrid power systems in meeting the continuous energy requirements of digital infrastructure, while examining how utilities, energy developers, data-centre operators and policymakers can build bankable power models for Africa's rapidly growing digital economy.
