Project HERCULES: Amaco and GE Vernova Partner for $1.5B Off-Grid AI Data Centre in Mombasa

Amaco Energy Group and GE Vernova plan a $1.5B off-grid AI data center in Mombasa, Kenya. The project, called HERCULES, will use GE Vernova's gas turbines and aims to establish Mombasa as a regional AI hub. It will operate independently of Kenya's national grid and could supply surplus power to the local grid. Construction is expected to take 28 months if approved.
