- Brazil witnessed an absolute growth of 40% in investments from the 2021 values due to investments from colocation providers such as Ascenty, Scala Data Centers, and ODATA and telecom operators such as GlobeNet Telecom, Ava Telecom, and Embratel. Sao Paulo, Brazil's significant financial capital, serves as the primary data center hub. Other cities, such as Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, are major investment locations in Brazil.
- Chile has competitive energy prices, primarily fueled by plans to take advantage of its natural renewable energy generation potential over the coming years. Energy costs have dropped to one-third of what they were five years ago, mainly based on renewable energy that now makes up 46% of the total produced.
- Chile traditionally has some of the region's best telecommunications infrastructure, and two major fiber projects are underway to ensure it will have a fully redundant fiber backbone. These include the state-funded Fibra Optica Austral (FOA) submarine cable connecting the deep south and Gtd's 3,500 km north-south submarine cable. In 2022, colocation operators, such as Scala Data Centers, ODATA, Ascenty (Digital Realty), and EdgeConneX, were the major investors in the Chilean data center market.
- In Argentina, Buenos Aires is the major investment destination, with the identified third-party facilities in the city contributing to over 90% of the existing power capacity. Most existing data centers are smaller facilities built over a limited area.
- The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) stated that renewable energy contributed to around 33% of the overall electricity capacity in 2020 in Argentina, and the country aims to generate 20% of the electricity via renewable sources by 2025. The country aims to be one of the largest data center hubs in the coming time period.
