Morocco may get Africa’s first hyperscaler with 386MW data center

A US-based artificial intelligence startup, Lozera claims to be building a massive 386-megawatt (MW) data center in Morocco. The ambitious project signals the company’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and renewable energy sources to support its expanding operations.

The data center, which is expected to be one of the largest of its kind in the world, is expected to serve as a cornerstone of the company’s global expansion strategy, providing the computational power and storage capacity necessary to support its AI-driven applications and services. Located in Morocco, the facility will benefit from the country’s strategic geographical position, favorable climate, and access to renewable energy resources.

The decision to establish a major data center in Morocco underscores the country’s growing appeal as a preferred destination for international investment and technology development. With its stable political environment, supportive regulatory framework, and strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, Morocco offers a conducive environment for innovation and economic growth.

The MOU signing event is reported to have held yesterday, May 8 in Austin, Texas.
