Angola announced a national data centre and government cloud in April 2026; Raxio identifies AO1 on the outskirts of Luanda.

Angola's ministry announced a national data centre and government cloud platform on 28 April 2026 to keep public data within national borders. Raxio provides a colocation enquiry route for AO1 near Luanda; current stage and available capacity are not verified here. The data protection law dates from 2011 and requires authorisation from the APD for transfers to countries without adequate protection. We found no national AI strategy text and no compute programme. Installed power is reported at 6,400 MW with expansion planned.

Latest recorded change

Raxio AO1 identity and enquiry checked. The operator identifies AO1 on the outskirts of Luanda and provides a facility enquiry route. An enquiry does not establish current operation or available compute. Read the official source.

Change checked 12 November 2026; next review by 12 December 2026. Only the Raxio facility identity, locality and enquiry were checked. The other policy, legal and grid evidence below retains its 3 October 2026 check date.

AI policy and activity

No national AI strategy found in the sources read. A DLA Piper Africa page covering Angolan tech law does not address AI regulation.

Power and grid

Reported. Installed capacity 6,400 MW against a 9,000 MW target for 2027, with the 2,172 MW Caculo Cabaca hydro project due for completion in 2027 (Ecofin). The IEA entry quotes a different 10 GW plan target; the two are not reconciled. No national supercomputing programme found.

Recorded facility evidence

These separately checked records retain their own source dates and explicit gaps; this does not refresh the other country fields or establish current operation or available compute.

Raxio Angola AO1 Record checked 12 November 2026. Inspect its evidence and limits.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027.
