ATLAS RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ODATA PARTNER TO DRIVE RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITION IN DATA CENTERS

SANTIAGO, JANUARY 22, 2025 – Atlas Renewable Energy, an international leader in renewable energy solutions, has signed an agreement with ODATA, an Aligned Data Center company and leader in the construction and operation of data centers in Latin America, to supply their Chilean data centers with 100% renewable energy. This agreement will provide renewable and clean energy, certifiable by I-REC, an international standard that certifies that the energy used comes from renewable sources. With this initiative, Atlas Renewable Energy provides ODATA with flexibility for its sustainable development and expansion.

The agreement between ODATA and Atlas Renewable Energy demonstrates the commitment of both companies to drive innovation on sustainable energy solutions for the rapidly growing data center sector. The agreement also supports ODATA’s strategic objectives in Chile by ensuring 100% renewable energy for its operations and advancing its sustainability commitments in the country.

“At Atlas, we want to promote the implementation of innovative and cutting-edge technologies, and this agreement with ODATA represents just that, an important advancement for the country, keeping sustainability at the forefront. It is essential that this industry continues to develop at an accelerated pace, especially in the interconnected world in which we want to play a leading role. Renewables, as a way of guaranteeing the reduction of the environmental impact of technological growth, are key to this,” says Alfredo Solar, regional manager of Atlas Renewable Energy for Chile and the Southern Cone.

“We are proud to partner with Atlas Renewable Energy to support the rise of new technologies in this dynamic market while advancing our sustainability goals,” says Ricardo Alário, CEO of ODATA. “As a leader in data center infrastructure in Latin America, we recognize Chile’s potential as an important technology hub. With its strategic location and AI growth potential, the country offers an ideal environment for sustainable data center growth.”

This agreement promotes innovation and a sustainable energy transition in Chile to facilitate an emerging and expanding data center sector. Driven by the rise of the cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the data center sector has become one of the fastest growing in Latin America. This rapid momentum is expected to continue as demand for new technologies accelerates. In the region, demand is particularly high in cities such as São Paulo, Brazil and Santiago, Chile, where capacity is still limited compared to the growing need for digital infrastructure.

AI has similarly grown rapidly in Chile, which is considered one of the regional leaders in AI adoption, along with governance, infrastructure, human talent, research and development, according to the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA) 2024.

Given the significant growth and demand in the data center sector, Atlas Renewable Energy is well positioned to partner with data centers in Chile. Leveraging its expertise in solar power and battery storage, Atlas provides clean energy solutions that support the continuing expansion of the sector. This partnership will drive the adoption of renewable energy in the Chilean technology sector and promote a more sustainable future.
