Phase 1 Deployment
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.
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.

⚡ 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.
Every design decision in the Ruiru facility is made with expansion in mind. Phase I is the foundation of a platform — not a standalone project.

🏗️ Modular Architecture
Built on 2.5 acres with structured room for Phase II expansion. Power, cooling, and network infrastructure designed for horizontal scaling without rebuilding core systems.
⚡ Power Headroom
2 MVA grid feed dimensioned for Phase II. Generator and UPS infrastructure specified with expansion in mind. Solar and BESS integration slots designed into Phase I build.
🔀 Triggered Expansion
Phase II triggered at 65% Phase I utilisation — a commercially disciplined signal that protects returns while ensuring expansion is funded by demonstrated demand, not speculation.
Power Architecture
How Power Flows Through the Facility
Dual-path redundant power — no single point of failure. Grid and solar feed independent UPS buses, both serving the critical load.
Facility Layout
Ruiru Green Data Hub Facility Schematic
Hot/cold aisle containment throughout. Security-zoned entry. Carrier-neutral meet-me room at the core. Designed for Phase II expansion on the same parcel.
Expansion Path
Phase I to Regional Scale On One Land Parcel
Phase II expansion is triggered commercially — not speculative. Same land, same power infrastructure, same connectivity. Incremental capital for exponential capacity.
Phase 2 expansion is commercially triggered — not planned speculatively. Capital is deployed only when Phase 1 reaches 65% utilisation, protecting investor returns and ensuring growth is demand-led.
