Scala Data Centers and Serena announce largest renewable energy partnership in Latin America’s data centre industry 

The initiative is set to begin in 2025, with renewable energy sourced from two wind farms in Bahia.

Scala Data Centers, a leading Latin American platform of sustainable data centres in the hyperscale market, and Serena, a global leader in clean energy investments, have announced one of the largest renewable energy supply agreements in Latin America.

This project will expand Scala’s already fully renewable energy portfolio, providing wind power to meet the demands of hyperscale data centres, including mixed AI workloads.

The energy supply partnership will commence in January 2025, with the possibility of earlier initiation. The renewable energy will be sourced from the Assuruá 4 and Ventos da Bahia 3 wind farms, both located in the state of Bahia, in the North East region of Brazil, with a total installed capacity of 393MW.

Scala will hold a stake in these assets, thereby tripling the amount of renewable energy available to serve its clients for over a decade.

This agreement underscores Serena’s extensive expertise in developing clean and renewable energy solutions to support its partners.

“We are pioneers in the region as the first Latin American data centre operator to consume 100% renewable energy,” said Luciano Fialho, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Scala Data Centers. “In a global context where energy availability is a challenge, particularly the rising demand due to AI workloads, our partnership with Serena reinforces our unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, all while maintaining carbon neutrality in our operations.”
