UK firm plans to build distributed AI data center using 50,000 smart lampposts in Nigeria

Warwickshire-based Conflow Power Group has signed a deal with Nigeria's Katsina State to deploy 50,000 solar-powered iLamp units that double as a distributed AI data center. Each lamppost contains a low-energy Nvidia chip drawing just 15 watts, powered entirely by solar panels. While experts question whether these can replace traditional data centers for demanding AI workloads, the network could serve lighter AI tasks and provide surveillance, traffic enforcement, and public WiFi across the state.
