Collaboration in Chile ushers in a sustainable future for the country’ s data centre sector.

A landmark agreement for the Chile and data centre sector, this partnership demonstrates Atlas ' commitment to driving innovation in sustainable energy solutions for the rapidly growing Chilean data centre sector and supports ODATA ' s strategic objectives and sustainability initiatives in the country.

This agreement also fosters innovation and a sustainable energy transition in Chile to pave the way for an emerging and expanding data centre industry.

Driven by the surge of cloud and AI, the data centre industry has emerged as one of Latin America ' s fastest-growing sectors.

This rapid growth is expected to continue as demand for new technologies accelerates. In Latin America, demand is particularly high in cities such as São Paulo, Brazil, and

The agreement leverages diverse renewable energy sources, including solar power, to deliver 100 % I-REC certifiable renewable energy to ODATA, empowering the organisation with the flexibility to pursue sustainable growth and expansion in the region.

“ We are proud to partner with Atlas Renewable Energy to support the proliferation of new technologies in this dynamic market while further advancing our sustainability goals,” said Ricardo Alário, CEO, ODATA.

Santiago, Chile, where capacity is still limited compared to the growing need for digital infrastructure.

“ As a leader in data centre infrastructure for Latin America, we recognise Chile ' s potential as a key technology hub. With its strategic location and AI growth potential, the country provides an ideal environment for sustainable data centre growth.”

Alfredo Solar, Regional Manager of Atlas Renewable Energy for Chile and the Southern Cone, said:“ At Atlas we want to promote the implementation of innovative and cutting-edge technologies, where this agreement with ODATA represents just that, an important advance for the country, but hand in hand with sustainability. It is essential that this industry continues to develop at an accelerated pace, especially in an interconnected world in which we want to be protagonists, and for this, renewables as a way to ensure the reduction of the environmental impact of technological growth are key.”

Likewise, AI has advanced rapidly in Chile, which is considered one of the regional leaders in AI adoption, alongside governance, infrastructure, human talent, research and development, according to the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index( ILIA) 2024.

Given the significant growth and demand within the data centre sector, Atlas Renewable Energy, with its 8.4 GW of renewable energy projects across Latin America, is well-positioned to partner with data centres in Chile. Leveraging its expertise in solar and battery storage, Atlas can provide clean energy solutions that support the industry ' s continued expansion. This partnership will not only drive sustainable energy adoption within the Chilean technology sector but also contribute to job creation and promote a more sustainable future. �
