Scala Data Centers has signed a large contract with Italian energy firm Enel Américas for data center power.
Enel’s Latin subsidiary Enel Américas will provide 1.6GW of power for Scala data centers across Chile, Peru, and Colombia.
Scala has announced plans for a 120MW data center campus in Santiago, the country’s largest, alongside two other campuses in Cuarama and Valparaiso. The company has promised that all the electricity used on these campuses will be renewable.
Scala is owned by US investment fund DigitalBridge, having been formed by Digital Colony in 2020. It is expanding very quickly, and the new PPA with Enel Americas will provide capacity for this growth.
For instance, 600MW added to its Brazil power capacity represents a significant increase over Scala’s existing usage. Scala currently has five data centers in the country with a total of 50MW capacity.
