Planned colocation data center in Cape Town, South Africa, part of Equinix's expansion into the city. One of two facilities planned at King Air Industrial in Cape Town, which together could total 160MW capacity. The projects faced community opposition in May 2026 over concerns about water use, electricity demand (amid load-shedding), diesel backup generation, pollution, and noise. Equinix entered South Africa in 2024 with its first facility (JN1) in Johannesburg.
