Phased Delivery · Platform Overview
Indicative sequencing across the group
Infrastructure fails when capital arrives ahead of readiness. The group's rollout is sequenced so that each phase is triggered by the completion of the one before it — structure before capital, anchor demand before build, operating proof before scale.
Corporate vehicles established across all four verticals. Joint ventures documented. Route rights, site rights and consortium participation advanced. Governance and ring-fencing architecture put in place before capital is raised, not after.
Anchor capital in market for the digital lane — the US$35M Series A de-risking the Phase 1 corridor and the first three campuses, targeted to first close in Q4 2026. Power offtake advanced toward definitive documentation, with Ressano Garcia financial close targeted for Q1 2027. Technical due diligence, capex validation and permitting progressed in parallel so that financial close is a scheduling exercise rather than a discovery exercise.
Cable landing infrastructure and the Addis Ababa → Wajale → Berbera terrestrial extension delivered. Stage 1 generation constructed and commissioned over 16 months from financial close, reaching commercial operation in Q2 2028. Initial data center pod brought into service with anchor tenancy and behind-the-fence power.
Multi-availability-zone campus expansion. Dondo and Beira generation developed. Long-term institutional refinancing of the operating base, releasing development capital for the next tranche of the platform.
Data center capacity is phased over five to seven years. Each phase is triggered by contracted demand rather than speculative build — the single most common failure mode in emerging-market digital infrastructure.
Initial critical-load pod at Cato Ridge with regional edge presence at Colesberg and Kazungula, solar generation and battery storage. Establishes the operating platform and the anchor relationship.
Expanded availability zones, dedicated AI zones and additional edge nodes as contracted demand materializes.
Full hyperscale AI and machine-learning workload capacity, with colocation capacity serving the wider regional market.
Stage 1 is deliberately the smallest of the three sites. It exists to prove delivery, establish the operating relationships with the utility and the fuel chain, and create a track record before the larger sites are financed.
Construction, commissioning and first operating year. Establishes the platform's delivery credibility.
The scale asset, developed on the strength of Stage 1's operating record and lender relationships.
Port-adjacent industrial generation completing the 770 MW platform.
Detailed commercial information, capital structures and data room access are released to qualified counterparties following screening.
