2 networks are listed at the sites in Male' according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Male' 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 92.9% of its electricity from oil (fuel oil, diesel) (2024). The detail: oil (fuel oil, diesel) 92.9%, solar 7.1%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 92.9% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 612 g of CO2, i.e. 1.3 times 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 21.7 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.

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Male' since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. 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, Male' 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.
