“WHO WILL PAY FOR THE ELECTRICITY?” BRIGHT SIMONS CHALLENGES GOVERNMENT OVER GHANA’S $250 MILLION AI COMPUTE CENTRE
Bright Simons has challenged the economic sustainability of Ghana’s proposed US$250 million national AI compute centre, warning that high electricity costs, uncertain power reliability and the water requirements of large-scale computing could make the facility expensive to operate. He says government should allow independent technical scrutiny before committing heavily to the project. Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George maintains that the investment is necessary to reduce Ghana’s dependence on foreign computing infrastructure and says the first phase is targeted for completion within 24 months.
