Why prices sit where they do
Botswana's catalog entry is Digital Delta DC1, run by state-owned Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) inside the Botswana Innovation Hub science park in Gaborone since its 2021 launch. It holds the full Design Documents and Constructed Facility Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute, one of five facilities the country has on Uptime's public registry — the others belong to a government data center, the national telecom incumbent and two mobile operators' internal "innovation hub" sites, none confirmed as third-party commercial colocation. Business electricity runs $0.165/kWh (GlobalPetrolPrices, Dec 2025), among the higher rates the catalog tracks in the region, reflecting Botswana's reliance on coal generation and Southern African Power Pool imports.
Frequently asked questions
How much does colocation cost in Botswana?
No published wholesale $/kW benchmark exists for Botswana yet, so we show nothing rather than an estimate. What is verifiable: the catalog tracks 4 facilities here. Run at least three quotes in parallel — where no benchmark is published, individual offers vary far more.
Why is colocation priced the way it is in Botswana?
Commercial electricity in Botswana is $0.165 per kWh, and power is the largest single input into a colocation rate. On top of that sit land and grid-connection availability, interconnection density, and how much capacity competes for the same tenants — 4 facilities in our catalog, 0 of them announced or under construction.
Where is colocation cheaper near Botswana?
On power alone, South Africa ($0.144/kWh) run below Botswana. Whether that becomes a cheaper contract depends on how much interconnection the workload needs — the comparison table shows what latency the move would cost.
