Latin America’s Data Center Dilemma

March 26, 2026

As part of our build-up to the 1st Latin America Data Center Power & Infrastructure Summit (DCPI-LATAM 2026) this July 14-15 in Rio de Janeiro, we hosted an exclusive warm-up webinar on Thursday, March 26 at 12:00 PM EST | 13:00 BRT.

From grid constraints to gigawatt-scale investment, this high-level session took the pulse of data center power and infrastructure development across Latin America — and offered a look ahead at the regulatory, financial, and energy challenges shaping the region’s digital future.

Topics covered:

  • Grid Strategies & Utility Alignment: How data center developers and utilities can align long-term strategies to make gigawatt-scale projects commercially and regulatorily feasible
  • Cost-Sharing Models That Work: The most effective frameworks for equitable cost-sharing between private operators and utilities on multi-million dollar transmission upgrades
  • Digital Loads & National Energy Agendas: How Latin America’s major markets are integrating the demands of the data center boom into their broader national energy strategies
