The data centre hosted more clients while recorded cloud revenue fell
The data centre hosted 134 clients in 2024 and 171 in 2025, a gain of 37. Reported cloud revenue fell from KSh 151.60 million to KSh 126.70 million. Used cloud storage fell from 75% to 50% of available resources. Client counts, reported revenue and capacity use can move in different directions. Source 1 Source 2
Road length held while the smart city control system advanced
The project reported 45 km of road infrastructure and 79 km of fibre in both 2024 and 2025. It recorded 141 smart poles in 2025, up from 81, while the Integrated Operations Centre’s reported completion rose from 82% to 100%. The authority describes that centre as a central point for functions including traffic control and environmental monitoring. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
Reported use increased for power and water services
Power utilization reached 6 MW in 2025 compared with 5 MW in 2024. The water reclamation facility’s recorded utilization rose from 3,600 to 6,000 cubic metres per day, and the water treatment plant from 6,200 to 10,000. These are usage measures, distinct from rated plant capacity. Source 1 Source 2
Building activity and investment describe separate milestones
The table shows 17 completed buildings and 26 under construction in 2025. It records 78% completion for the conference facility, 97% for the first phase of Riara University and 100% for Kenya-AIST.
