Why prices sit where they do
South Africa is a competitive multi-operator market centred on Johannesburg, with smaller Cape Town and Durban clusters plus edge sites in Bloemfontein, East London and Gqeberha. Teraco (majority-owned by Digital Realty) is the largest operator, with eight buildings across Isando, Bredell, Cape Town and Durban; Africa Data Centres (Liquid Intelligent Technologies) and Open Access Data Centres (WIOCC, built largely from a 2025 acquisition of seven ex-NTT sites) each run multi-building portfolios spanning Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban/Umhlanga and three secondary cities; Vantage, NTT, Equinix and locally owned Digital Parks Africa each hold at least one site. OADC's Durban (DUR1) facility hosts the only 2Africa subsea cable landing into KwaZulu-Natal. None of the disclosed facilities carries a formal Uptime Institute Constructed Facility certification — most operators describe their buildings as "built to" or "designed to" Tier III/IV standards, a marketing claim distinct from third-party certification. Business electricity runs $0.144/kWh (GlobalPetrolPrices, Dec 2025); Eskom's tariffs span roughly $0.10-$0.17/kWh and rose 8.76% from April 2026 under NERSA's latest determination.
Frequently asked questions
How much does colocation cost in South Africa?
No published wholesale $/kW benchmark exists for South Africa yet, so we show nothing rather than an estimate. What is verifiable: the catalog tracks 42 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 South Africa?
Commercial electricity in South Africa is $0.144 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 — 42 facilities in our catalog, 2 of them announced or under construction.
