A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Blantyre 3 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 92.3% of its electricity from hydro (2024). The detail: hydro 92.3%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 4.4%, bioenergy 2.7%, solar 0.5%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 4.4% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 55 g of CO2, i.e. 8.3 times less than the world average (458 g), 2024 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 2 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, 0 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Blantyre 3, and 2 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.5 in 2018, 115 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, Blantyre 3 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 rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
