Sustainable Data Centers on the Rise in South Africa: A Strategic Shift Toward Green Transformation
Sustainability is becoming a key focus in the growth of data centers across South Africa. Driven by global climate goals, local regulations, and rising expectations from investors and customers, companies are adopting greener practices to reduce their environmental impact. Industry leaders such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google are setting new sustainability benchmarks, leveraging advanced cooling technologies and forming long-term partnerships with renewable energy providers using wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources. Many operators are also supporting local communities through education initiatives, funding programs, and grants for renewable energy development.
Furthermore, many operators are extending their sustainability impact by supporting local communities through education programs, funding initiatives, and grants aimed at bolstering renewable energy projects. This alignment of corporate responsibility and environmental innovation is becoming a defining trait of data center development across the region. Reinforcing this vision, the government announced in February 2025 an ambitious renewable energy procurement plan, targeting the addition of 4 GW of photovoltaic (PV) capacity and 10 GW of wind power, contributing to national goals of achieving 9 GW solar and 18 GW wind capacity by 2030. As the country moves toward a more energy-secure and sustainable future, green data center are emerging as symbols of innovation and environmental responsibility.
Recent Vendor Activities
In March 2025, Vantage Data Centers partnered with real estate developer, Attacq to build data center in Johannesburg. The construction is expected to be completed by Q1 2026. The investment for the construction is $34 million.
In November 2024, Teraco (Digital Realty) started construction of JB7 facility in Islando Campus with an area of 764,235 sq. ft. It will be launching four data centers in 2025.
In October 2024, Equinix launched JN1 facility that has colocation space of 20,000 sq. ft. in its initial phase and have plans to expand it to more than 100,000 sq. ft. at full build-out
South Africa Accelerates Smart City Initiatives to Drive Urban Growth
Rapid urbanization and a population approaching 64 million at the start of 2025 are driving South Africa’s dynamic progress in smart city development. With over 70% of its citizens now living in urban areas, the country is actively deploying smart city initiatives to tackle pressing challenges such as urban mobility, public safety, healthcare access, energy efficiency, and sustainable growth. These initiatives are deeply rooted in a broader vision of digital transformation and inclusive community engagement. In alignment with this vision, the South African government introduced the National Smart City Framework in 2021, in partnership with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). This framework guides the country’s smart city evolution through urban innovation hubs, smart energy solutions, and enhanced internet connectivity.
Looking ahead, South Africa’s dedication to smart, sustainable urban development sets the stage for a transformative future. Ongoing investments in advanced technologies and inclusive policy frameworks are key to reshaping cities into centers of innovation, resilience, and equity. Achieving this vision will rely on strong collaboration between government entities, private enterprises, and local communities. Data centers will serve as critical infrastructure, managing the massive volumes of data generated by interconnected urban systems. Positioned as vital assets in the smart city ecosystem, these centers will help power South Africa’s digital future and unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation.
Southeast Asia Data Center Market Surge for Strong Growth Driven by Emerging Investment Opportunities
The Southeast Asia data center market is poised for significant growth, driven by emerging investment hotspots such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Among these, Malaysia has established itself as the leading investment destination in recent years. This is largely due to factors including land constraints in neighbouring Singapore, availability of more affordable land and power, and a favorable regulatory environment supportive of data center development. Indonesia plays a vital role in the region with over 14 cloud zones operated by major providers such as Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Tencent Cloud. However, data center investments there remain concentrated mainly in major urban centers like the Greater Jakarta region, primarily because rural areas face challenges like inadequate network infrastructure and unstable power supply.
Meanwhile, Vietnam, though a smaller market compared to its Southeast Asian counterparts, is rapidly accelerating efforts to capitalize on opportunities presented by AI-driven data center expansion. Similarly, Thailand is gradually emerging as a key player, benefiting from its strategic location, robust power grid, and progressive government policies. The Thai government actively fosters digital growth by offering tax incentives and streamlining permit processes, thus creating an attractive environment for data center investments. In contrast, Singapore’s data center investments experienced a slowdown due to a moratorium on construction. However, following the lifting of this moratorium in 2022, the market has begun to attract renewed investment interest.
