Why prices sit where they do
Zambia's catalog holds two Lusaka facilities: Paratus Zambia's multi-tenant colocation site at Brentwood Office Park, which the operator describes as carrier-neutral and built to Tier III design principles without a formal Uptime award, and INFRATEL's Production Site data center, part of the state-linked wholesale telecom infrastructure company's network and the only Zambian facility to hold an actual Uptime Institute Tier III Certification of Design Documents. Business electricity runs $0.055/kWh (GlobalPetrolPrices, Dec 2025), among the lower rates the catalog tracks in Southern Africa, reflecting a grid still overwhelmingly dependent on Zambezi River hydropower, though recent drought cycles have periodically forced load-shedding across the system.
