European firm Amaco Energy Group has mooted plans to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered smart-power system valued at $1.5 billion (Sh194 billion) to energise data centres that will be run using Artificial Intelligence (AI), once approved.
Group Chief Executive Officer Theodore Theodoropoulos said the offshore smart-power system dubbed Hercules will be integrated with data centres as a single unit and will be the first in Africa.
It combines electricity generation, upstream cooling and AI data-centre infrastructure within an integrated architecture.
