What is established
Under construction. 54 MW announced (basis not stated by the source); $500M announced investment; owned or developed by Scala Data Centers.
What is not disclosed
Accelerator count, hardware platform, timeline, named tenant, power source, cooling technology — not disclosed by any source on this page. Recorded as unknown, never as zero.
Analyst note
Aspirational full build is 4.75GW ('4.750MW distribuídos em mais de 7 milhões de metros quadrados') — among the largest DC ambitions in the Americas; MME granted a 5GW grid-reserve authorization, one of Brazil's largest ever. Only the 54MW/US$500M Phase 1 is committed; construction started after Eldorado do Sul enabling law was sanctioned. 100% renewable, PUE <=1.2 claimed, Malbec subsea-cable connectivity.
Physical work is under way and the evidence includes a primary source.
Power readiness
Capacity basis unclear
A megawatt figure exists but the source does not say whether it is IT load, site power or generation.
Derived from the evidence on this page by a published rule, not a model. How this is calculated.
