Compute

The Nairobi Supercluster programme targets large-scale accelerated compute, while the 100 kW reference node provides the modular deployment basis for near-term execution.

Converging site, power, supplier architecture, financing and anchor-demand requirements across the reference node and larger Nairobi scale path.

Energy

Utility, hydro, geothermal and renewable pathways are being compared against uptime, economics and expansion requirements.

Energy is evaluated alongside cost, uptime and deployment resilience.
