What JuaGrid
Is Actually Building

JuaGrid's initial deployment in Ruiru is designed as a modular, scalable infrastructure asset, structured to support immediate demand while enabling phased expansion.

Phase 1 Deployment (Planned Capacity) Target: Q4 2026
2 MW IT Load Capacity
Scalable design with Phase II expansion to 5+ MW on the same parcel
~400–600 Rack Deployment
Initial phase — 42U/47U enterprise racks across ~5,000 sq ft white floor
Carrier-Neutral Interconnection Architecture
Multi-carrier fibre access — Safaricom, Liquid, Jamii, Airtel. KIXP cross-connect capability
Hybrid Energy Model
KPLC grid (~90% renewable) + 300 kW on-site solar PV + N+1 generator backup
Designed for Modular Expansion
Land, power, and infrastructure headroom engineered for phases beyond initial deployment
What this facility supports

The facility is being designed to support enterprise, cloud, and connectivity workloads, with infrastructure aligned to long-term regional growth.

Phase 2 trigger

Phase 2 expansion is triggered at 65% Phase 1 utilisation — a commercially disciplined signal that protects investor returns while ensuring growth is funded by demonstrated demand, not speculation.

2,000+ racks at 5+ MW — same land parcel
Detailed technical specifications and engineering design are available as part of the investor pack under NDA.
All specifications are planned and subject to final engineering design, regulatory approvals, and investment close.
Location Advantage

The Ruiru
Advantage

Ruiru sits at the convergence of Nairobi's fastest-growing development corridor, JKUAT's 30,000-student talent pipeline, Tatu City's enterprise demand, and the multi-carrier fibre routes running along the Thika Superhighway. All converging on one site — ours.

🏙️
Nairobi CBD — 30 km

Via Thika Superhighway A2. Approximately 35 minutes. Direct fibre routes to all CBD exchanges.

🏫
JKUAT — 8 km south

30,000 students. Anchor tenant potential, technical talent pipeline, and research collaboration.

🏭
Tatu City SEZ — 15 km

2,500-acre Special Economic Zone. 400+ companies. Growing enterprise colocation demand.

KPLC Juja Control Centre

Dedicated grid control centre nearby. 132kV industrial access. Reliable utility supply.

🌐
Multi-Carrier Fibre

Safaricom, Jamii Telecom, Liquid, and Airtel all present on the Thika Road corridor.

⚡ Power Architecture

2 MVA KPLC grid feed with 2×1,500 kVA generators (N+1 redundancy). Dual bus UPS configuration (2N — no single point of failure). 300 kW rooftop solar PV. Phase II: 1–2 MWh BESS lithium iron phosphate battery storage. Genset runtime target: <3% annually.

❄️ Cooling Design

Hot/cold aisle containment with physical separation barriers. EC (electronically commutated) fan motor precision cooling units for variable-speed efficiency. Target PUE <1.8 Phase I, <1.55 Phase II — below the global DC average of 1.58. In-row cooling specified for Phase II high-density deployments.

🔐 Physical Security

Mantrap entry, biometric access control, perimeter fencing, 24/7 on-site security personnel, full CCTV coverage with 90-day retention. Visitor management system.

🌐 Connectivity

Carrier-neutral. Diverse entry points. Safaricom, Jamii Telecom, Liquid, and Airtel on Thika Road corridor. KIXP cross-connect capability. Planned meet-me room.

Sustainability

Green by Design.
Not Aspiration.

Kenya operates one of the world's cleanest national grids — ~90% renewable. Our facility runs on geothermal, hydro, and wind from Day 1, and layers on-site solar on top.

~90% Renewable Grid

Geothermal 40%, Hydro 25%, Wind 13%, Solar 4%. Near-zero Scope 2 CO₂ from the day we open.
