The World's Most Compelling Location for Data Centers
Ethiopia offers a rare combination of natural advantages that dramatically lower the cost and carbon footprint of data center operations — and EthioCore is the expert partner that turns those advantages into competitive infrastructure for your organisation.
Africa's Largest Hydropower Source at Your Door
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) — Africa's largest hydropower project — supplies clean, renewable electricity at some of the lowest industrial tariffs on the continent. With a total installed capacity of 6,000MW, the GERD feeds directly into the Holeta, Ethiopia 500KV substation, the grid connection point for EthioCore's flagship data center campus.
Holeta Campus — Purpose-Built for Low-Cost Operations
Located in Holeta, Ethiopia — at an elevation that provides a year-round mild climate of 10–20°C — our data center facility benefits from free natural cooling for the majority of the year, drastically reducing mechanical cooling costs and achieving industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Direct access to the 500KV substation ensures grid-grade, stable power with N+1 utility redundancy built in from day one.
100% Renewable, Lowest-Cost Power in Africa
Hydroelectric power from the GERD delivers clean, dispatchable energy at a fraction of the cost of diesel or grid power in neighbouring markets. For power-intensive workloads — from AI training clusters to high-density colocation — Ethiopia's renewable energy advantage translates directly to lower TCO for every rack deployed.
