Atlas Renewable Energy, an international provider of renewable energy sources, has finalized an agreement with ODATA, an Aligned Data Centers company and leader in Latin American data center construction and operations to power Chilean data centers with 100% renewable energy.
This landmark agreement for the Chile and data center sector demonstrates Atlas' commitment to driving innovation in sustainable energy solutions for the rapidly growing Chilean data center sector and supports ODATA's strategic objectives and sustainability initiatives in the country.

The partnership leverages diverse renewable energy sources, including solar power, to deliver 100% I-REC certifiable renewable energy to ODATA, empowering the organization with the flexibility to pursue sustainable growth and expansion in the region. “We are proud to partner with Atlas Renewable Energy to support the proliferation of new technologies in this dynamic market while further advancing our sustainability goals,” says Ricardo Alário, CEO of ODATA. “As a leader in data center infrastructure for Latin America, we recognize Chile's potential as a key technology hub. With its strategic location and AI growth potential, the country provides an ideal environment for sustainable data center growth.”
This collaboration also encourages innovation and a sustainable energy transition in Chile to pave the way for an emerging and expanding data center industry. Driven by the surge of cloud and AI, the data center industry has emerged as one of Latin America's fastest-growing industries. This rapid growth is expected to continue as demand for new technologies accelerates.
In Latin America, demand is particularly high in cities such as São Paulo, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile, where capacity is still limited in comparison to the growing need for digital infrastructure.
“At Atlas we want to promote the implementation of innovative and cutting-edge technologies, where this agreement with ODATA represents just that—an important advance for the country, but hand in hand with sustainability. It is essential that this industry continues to develop at an accelerated pace, especially in an interconnected world in which we want to be protagonists. For this reason, renewables as a way to ensure the reduction of the environmental impact of technological growth are key,” says Alfredo Solar, Regional Manager of Atlas Renewable Energy for Chile and the Southern Cone.
Likewise, AI has advanced rapidly in Chile, which is considered one of the regional leaders in AI adoption, governance, infrastructure, human talent, research, and development, according to the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA) 2024.
This partnership will not only drive sustainable energy adoption within the Chilean technology sector but will also contribute to job creation and promote a more sustainable future.
