5B AI DATA CENTRES IN WESTERN CAPE
from 5 Breakfast · host 5FM
Two massive AI data centres have been greenlit to be built in the Western Cape. 120,000 square meters, approximately the size of 17 full-sized soccer fields placed side by side. This has also raised concerns about the heavy draw on water and electricity that they will require - water that Cape Town, not too long ago, did not have much of.
