In a recent interview, Alfonso González, president of the Guatemalan Renewable Energy Association (AGER), emphasized the need for an ambitious regulatory framework to support the country’s electricity sector, particularly given the high energy demands of data centers and AI servers. He highlighted their significant carbon footprint and stressed the importance of using renewable energy. Guatemala aims to attract foreign investment in power generation and large data centers, leveraging its strategic location and nearshoring opportunities, exemplified by Aurum Equity Partners’ planned 50 MW, US$300 million AI data center in Guatemala City.
