Data centre infrastructure company Teraco will expand its 2 500 m², 3 MW CT1 data centre by a further 1 000 m² of data hall space and 2 MW of critical information technology load.

The facility serves as a carrier-dense interconnection hub, strategically located at the southern-most tip of Africa. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2027.

Cape Town’s strategic location, combined with the landing of major subsea cable systems, such as ACE, Equiano, SAT-3, SAFE, WACS and 2Africa, continues to drive the region’s growth as a digital gateway to Africa.

The CT1 expansion ensures Teraco is well positioned to support increasing enterprise and hyperscale demand for resilient, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure, says Teraco CEO Jan Hnizdo.

“This investment at CT1 reflects our continued confidence in Cape Town as one of Africa’s most digitally connected cities. CT1 is also where our journey began in 2008.

“By expanding CT1, we are not only working to meet growing client demand for interconnection and deployment capacity, but also strengthening our long-term commitment to the region’s digital future,” he says.

The planned expansion of CT1 underscores Teraco’s long-term vision of investing in digital infrastructure that enables growth, innovation and connectivity across Africa, he adds.

The expanded CT1 facility will enhance Teraco’s ability to serve businesses across industries, including telecoms, financial services, e-commerce, logistics and retail, all of which rely on resilient, carrier-neutral infrastructure to power their digital operations and reach global cloud and content delivery ecosystems, he says.

Further, this expansion will also increase the critical power load capacity across Teraco's eight data centres to 191 MW.
