Tetracore leads $400m data centre push with Huawei, Inspirive

Tetracore Energy Group has announced plans to build a $400 million data centre in partnership with Huawei and Inspirive Technologies.

The 20MW Tier III Fusion Block Data Centre will be located within the Tetracore Energy Park in Atakobo, Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State. The project is expected to be delivered within 10 to 12 months.

The development comes as Nigeria faces pressure to expand its digital infrastructure and reduce reliance on foreign data hosting. Industry stakeholders say demand for local data storage and processing continues to rise as more sectors adopt digital tools.

Tetracore said the facility will meet Tier III standards, ensuring uptime through redundancy and system design. The company added that the project will run on its 100MW Independent Power Plant located within the same energy park.

This model links power supply directly to digital infrastructure. It aims to address power challenges that affect data operations across the country.

Speaking on the project, Olakunle Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tetracore Energy Group, said: “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.”

Williams Abiola, Chief Technology Officer of Inspirive Technologies, said: “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 centre capable of supporting enterprise growth, cloud adoption, and long-term digital transformation.”

A representative from Huawei Nigeria said: “Huawei is proud to contribute its global expertise in data centre technologies to this project. Together, we are delivering a high-performance, energy-efficient facility aligned with international standards, supporting Nigeria’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem.”

The data centre will serve sectors such as finance, telecommunications, government, and technology. It will also support startups and education platforms.

As artificial intelligence use grows, demand for computing power and secure data systems continues to increase. The facility is expected to support these needs while helping to keep data within Nigeria.

Analysts say projects like this may support growth, improve data control, and expand access to digital services across the country.
