A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Isando are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 81.4% of its electricity from coal (2025). The detail: coal 81.4%, solar 8%, wind 4.7%, nuclear 4.2%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 0.8%, hydro 0.8%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 82.2% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 699 g of CO2, i.e. 1.5 times the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 24.8 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

Since 1970, 9 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Isando, and 30 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.7 in 1974, 68 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

With a single listed site, Isando cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside Isando is 8 km away, in Johannesburg (20 sites). Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
