Solar power is supporting the activities of a number of Orange subsidiaries in Africa and a Huawei data centre in Jordan.
International operator Orange says it is accelerating its solar projects in Africa and the Middle East in order to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2040.
10 May 2021 | Antony Savvas Moro Hub, a digital unit of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has signed an agreement with Huawei to build the largest solar-powered data centre in the Middle East and Africa.
Located at the 3,000MW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the new carbon-neutral Tier 3 data centre will use 100% renewable energy and have a capacity exceeding 100MW, said the partners.
It is the second solar-powered data centre in Dubai launched by Moro Hub, with the other one being located at Dubai Marina - another Tier 3 facility but offering a more modest 9MW.
The first Moro Hub data centre consists of around 37,000 sq ft, but the scale of the new larger one has not been released, nor has the timeline for its build.
DUBAI: The digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), Moro Hub, has signed an agreement with Huawei to build the largest solar-powered data center in the Middle East and Africa region.
The data center, to be built at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Solar Park, will use 100 percent renewable energy, according to a statement carried by WAM.
“The center will offer digital products and services using Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, such as cloud services, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI),” DEWA chief Saeed Mohammed Al-Tayer.
It will enable “global hyper-scalers to access carbon-free computing,” he added.
