Brazilian renewable energy firm Atiaia Renováveis recently announced plans to supply solar power from three solar farms in Pernambuco state to V.tal, a domestic telecom and data storage provider.
Atiaia Partners with Tecto to Supply Data Centers with Solar Power
Under this partnership, Atiaia’s Sol do Agreste I, IV and V solar farms will provide 237 GWh of clean electricity annually to power the data centres owned by Tecto, a subsidiary of V.tal. This initiative will help prevent the emission of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 2026 and 2041.
Rodrigo Assuncao, CEO of Atiaia Renovaveis, emphasized that the partnership marks a key milestone in the company's growth strategy, strengthening its position as a driver of sustainable transformation in support of the energy transition.
Atlas Renewable Energy Powers V.tal Data Centers with Draco Solar Plant
Atlas Renewable Energy, a global provider of renewable energy solutions, is entering the data centre sector in Latin America through a contract with V.tal, a telecom and data storage provider based in São Paulo. As part of the agreement, Atlas will develop the Draco Solar Plant which will produce approximately 1,150 GWh of clean energy annually.
“With this contract, we aim to service Latin America’s data centres by shifting toward sustainable energy solutions, especially given their ever-increasing importance in our region and the world. Our agreement with V.tal solidifies our footprint in Latin America’s data centre sector. But it is only the first step; we look forward to supporting the operations of digital infrastructure companies throughout the region, helping drive growth powered by clean energy, as well as competitiveness in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.” said Carlos Barrera, CEO of Atlas Renewable Energy.
Data centres have seen significant regional and global growth, fueled by the rise of artificial intelligence, the expansion of 5G networks and the increasing demand for multi-screen experiences. As data sharing among millions of users grows exponentially, the industry faces a pressing need for a stable and efficient energy supply.
The Draco solar plant (579 MWp) will allocate 710 GWh of its annual output to power V.tal’s facilities across Brazil, as well as the current and future data centre campus owned by Tecto, V.tal’s data centre division. The remaining capacity will be available for other companies aiming to meet their sustainability objectives. Hospital network Primavera Saúde and poultry producer Rivelli have already signed contracts to receive power from the plant.
