Why prices sit where they do
Mali enters the catalog through state-owned operator SMTD (Societe Malienne de Transmission et de Diffusion), which runs a Bamako data center advertising colocation, cloud and hosting built "to the requirements of the Tier III standard" -- marketing language rather than an independent certification. This appears to be the facility the government inaugurated in January 2026 as Mali's national data center during Mali Digital Week, positioned as a data-sovereignty hub for the Alliance of Sahel States alongside Burkina Faso and Niger. Sotelma/Malitel and Orange Mali publish no comparable facility. GlobalPetrolPrices puts December 2025 business electricity at $0.166/kWh, notably below Mali's residential rate.
