LATIN AMERICA DATA CENTER CONSTRUCTION MARKET KEY TRENDS
Shift toward Sustainable Data Center Construction with Renewable Energy Integration
In 2024, the Latin America data center construction market accounted for a significant shift toward sustainable construction and renewable energy integration due to rising energy costs and the environmental impact of high energy consumption.
Investments in renewable energy partnerships and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have become a trend among data center operators. For instance, investors are implementing innovative approaches, such as solar farms and wind power contracts, to secure a sustainable energy supply while reducing carbon footprints. Major global players, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, and Microsoft, use renewable energy and improve energy efficiency, including facilities in Latin America.
In August 2024, Scala Data Centers, in collaboration with Serena, announced renewable energy supply agreements in Latin America. The project will provide wind power to meet the demands of hyperscale data centers, including mixed AI workloads, which will be sourced from Bahia, Brazil, accounting for a capacity of 393 MW and it will begin in 2025.
Google has committed to using renewable energy in more than 90% of its energy matrix in its Uruguay Data center.
Rise in Digital Economy and Smart City Development
Latin America’s digital economy has expanded rapidly, particularly through the quick expansion in e-commerce, financial technology (fintech), and digital services; this is propelling the demand for robust infrastructure. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend, making it essential for cities and businesses to rely on digital platforms to operate efficiently.
With countries including Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia leading the charge, the digital transformation in Latin America aims to build more connected environments that support economic growth and innovation.
In Mexico, 5 cities are aiming to become smart cities: Tequila, Jalisco; Ciudad Madera, Queretaro; Mexico City; Ciudad Creativa Digital (Jalisco); and Puebla, Smart City.
Scala Data Centers, owned by Digital Bridge, is planning to build a large data center. The company acquired 700 hectares of land for the AI City in the municipality of Eldorado do Sul.
Enhancement in Submarine & Inland Connectivity
Latin America is undergoing significant advancements in submarine and inland connectivity, with substantial investments and strategic partnerships aimed at modernizing infrastructure and expanding digital access across the region. There are more than 80 submarine cables connecting to Latin America, out of which 8 to 9 are expected to be deployed in or after 2025.
One of the most ambitious projects underway is the Humboldt Cable System, which aims to connect Chile with the Asia Pacific region. Developed through a partnership between Chile’s Fondo de Infraestructura and H2 Cable, this submarine cable will span approximately 14,810 kilometers, linking Chile to Sydney, Australia, and other locations in Asia Pacific. It will be operational from 2026.
Parallelly, Liberty Networks and Gold Data have joined forces to develop a subsea cable network linking the US with Mexico and Latin America. This project, featuring the GD-1 and LN-1 cables, will offer one of the lowest-latency routes between the US and Mexico, extending connectivity to new data hubs in Colombia, Panama, and the Caribbean.
GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Brazil holds a significant share of the Latin America data center construction market. The country’s digital transformation policies, coupled with widespread IoT and big data adoption, support major investments in data center infrastructure. It is leading in digital infrastructure expansion, driven by government-supported sustainability initiatives and a growing dependence on renewable energy for data centers.
Chile is a hub for renewable energy sources; data center companies leverage this to maximize their sustainable practices and reduce their carbon footprint. There are more than 30 existing data centers in Santiago. The country has invested heavily in digital infrastructure to adopt e-commerce, streaming services, and online banking.
Colombia, with its strategic location and stable economy, has become the ideal destination for businesses looking to establish their presence in Latin America. Its geographical location makes it an attractive place that is risk-free for business operations. Bogota is the primary hub for data center investment.
Mexico’s commitment to smart city initiatives is evident in cities such as Tequila, Ciudad Madera, Mexico City, Ciudad Creativa Digital, and Puebla, which are implementing digital infrastructure to support connectivity, IoT applications, and urban innovation. This smart city push, along with growing e-commerce and rapid internet penetration, is expanding Mexico’s digital infrastructure needs and establishing a solid foundation for further data center investments across the country.
Argentina, with seven operational submarine cables, is recognized as one of the best-connected countries in Latin America for data infrastructure. This extensive network enhances its connectivity within the region, supporting data center growth and international data exchange. The most prominent location is Buenos Aires.
