IXAfrica Data Centre has secured up to US$200 million in debt financing from Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) to expand its Nairobi campus, aiming to become a critical hub for hyperscale and artificial-intelligence workloads in the region.

• The funding will support the construction of an additional 20 megawatts of IT power, adding to the existing 2.25 megawatts already in service.
• Snehar Shah, CEO of IXAfrica, confirmed the company has identified Tilisi Industrial Park in Limuru as a viable point for future expansion.
• The Nairobi site benefits from proximity to key fiber routes, resilient power infrastructure, and Kenya’s largely renewable electricity supply.
