Initial power has already been secured, with the facility expected to be entirely powered by renewable energy.

Further specifications have not been shared, nor have timelines for construction.

V.tal first acquired the land parcel in October last year, alongside the launch of its data center subsidiary, Tecto, and a $1 billion investment plan for data center expansion in the region.

At the same time, the company broke ground on a new facility - dubbed Mega Lobster - in Fortaleza. Located in Praia do Futuro, Mega Lobster will occupy an area of 13,000 sqm (139,930 sq ft) and will have a capacity of 20MW.

The company signed PPAs with Atlas Renewable and Atiaia Renováve at the end of last year to supply solar power to all of its Brazilian data center operations.

In Brazil, V.tal currently has two live data centers in Fortaleza and one in Rio de Janeiro. The company is also planning a new facility in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Internationally, the company has a site in Barranquilla, Colombia, comprising two operational data centers.

V.tal has a number of subsea cable investments in the region and thousands of miles of terrestrial fiber.

Santana de Parnaíba is also home to the likes of Equinix and OData.
