Hitachi Energy and RT-One partner to power Latin America’s largest AI data center platform in Brazil

Hitachi Energy is working with RT-One to support development of what the companies describe as Latin America’s largest Artificial Intelligence data center platform – reinforcing Brazil’s ambitions to become a global hub for high-density computing, clean energy and digital sovereignty.

The agreement covers electrification infrastructure for a mega campus planned in Uberlândia, a second campus in Maringá and a third site currently under evaluation. Together, the locations are intended to anchor large scale AI, cloud and high-performance computing capacity in Brazil.

Under the collaboration, Hitachi Energy will contribute advanced high-voltage electrical systems and grid connections designed to deliver energy efficiency, reliability and resilience at scale, requirements considered critical for mission critical digital services such as data centers.

According to the companies, the systems will be engineered for secure network integration, operational flexibility and future expansion while maintaining robustness during peak demand. These capabilities are increasingly important as electricity consumption in Brazil is projected to rise steadily through 2035, driven by industrial electrification, digitalization and mobility.

The initial phase of development includes 100 megawatts of capacity at the Uberlândia campus and up to 200 megawatts at Maringá, with modular expansion planned beyond 400 megawatts per campus.

RT-One said first deliveries are expected in 2026, supporting the growth of AI hubs, cybersecurity services and sovereign cloud infrastructure in the country.

Executives said the partnership combines engineering, supply chain expertise and clean energy know how to accelerate timelines, manage risk and ensure long term operational sustainability.
