Greek multinational Amaco Energy Group plans to build a $1.5 billion (Sh194 billion) artificial intelligence (AI) data centre in Mombasa to tap East Africa’s growing demand for computing infrastructure.

Amaco CEO Theodore Theodoropoulos is in Kenya for talks with government officials for approval of the project, which is expected to combine a large data-centre facility with an independent power-generation system.
