West African energy firm Tetracore Energy Group plans a $400 million data center in Nigeria in partnership with Huawei and Inspirive Technologies.

The planned 20MW facility will be located at Tetracore’s energy park in Atakobo, Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria, and is designed to meet Tier III standards, with construction expected to take 10–12 months. The companies said the project reflects rising domestic demand for local data storage and processing across enterprises and public-sector organizations.

Tetracore added that the data center will be powered by a 100MW on-site independent power plant within the gas-powered energy park, which has a capacity of 6.2 million standard cubic feet per day.

“Sustainable digital transformation is fundamentally dependent on reliable energy infrastructure. This project reflects our ability to integrate energy and technology at scale, creating platforms that enable long-term economic growth. The Tetracore Energy Park was deliberately designed to support projects of this magnitude, and this development reinforces our commitment to execution in complex environments,” said Olakunle Williams, president and CEO of Tetracore Energy Group.

“This development marks a major milestone in strengthening Nigeria’s digital backbone. By combining local expertise with global technology partnerships, we are delivering a scalable, world-class data center capable of supporting enterprise growth, cloud adoption, and long-term digital transformation,” said Williams Abiola, CTO of Inspirive Technologies.

There are 18 data centers in Nigeria.
