DATA closes Latin America’s largest green data centre financing with $1.02bn to expand sustainable infrastructure across Brazil, Mexico, Chile & Colombia
ODATA, an Aligned Data Centers company, has secured US$1.02bn in green financing to support sustainable data centre investments across Latin America.
The deal represents the largest issuance of sustainable financing for data centres in the region and strengthens the company’s ability to scale infrastructure for cloud and AI workloads.
The latest funding brings ODATA’s total financing to US$2.25bn, underscoring both its financial strength and its role as a leading provider of critical digital infrastructure.
This historic achievement, representing the largest issuance of sustainable data centre financing in Latin America, has allowed ODATA to build a solid financial structure,” says Rafael Bomeny, CFO of ODATA. “With these high-quality resources, we’re incredibly well-positioned to empower our customers in their digital infrastructure expansion across the region.
“This green financing also reinforces our mission to contribute to Latin America’s sustainable development by leading the way in adopting innovative technologies that drive a more efficient future for our customers and communities.”
Funding to accelerate regional expansion
The financing was arranged through a syndicate of international financial institutions including Apterra, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, Deutsche Bank, MUFG Bank, Natixis Corporate and Investment Banking, Nomura, Societe Generale and SMBC.
Proceeds will be allocated to new data centre projects that meet stringent sustainability criteria such as renewable energy sourcing, efficiency optimisation and environmentally responsible construction practices.
The capital injection will also accelerate ODATA’s expansion across key markets including Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.

By increasing capacity in these countries, the company aims to strengthen the region’s ability to support the rising demands of cloud computing and AI adoption.
Sustainability at the core
Rafael emphasises that sustainability underpins ODATA’s entire strategy.
“Sustainability is a top priority for ODATA. In addition to major investments in renewable energy, we adopt designs that seek the highest levels of energy efficiency without wasting water,” he explains.
“With this new green financing, we can continue contributing to the development of Latin America’s digital infrastructure while upholding the highest standards of sustainability.”
The company has already demonstrated leadership in the field by becoming the first hyperscale data centre operator in Latin America to self-produce 100% renewable energy in Brazil. This move has set a precedent for other operators in the region to integrate renewable power into their operations.
Technology innovation for efficient cooling
ODATA is also investing in pioneering cooling technology to improve efficiency at scale. The company recently introduced Delta Cube (Delta³), a patented system developed by parent company Aligned Data Centers.
The Delta³ technology can cool up to 50kW per rack within the same row, making it particularly well-suited for high-density deployments common in AI and cloud environments. The system is designed for future integration with liquid cooling, giving operators flexibility as computing requirements evolve.
By implementing these innovations, ODATA aims to address two of the sector’s most pressing challenges: reducing carbon emissions and managing power-hungry workloads without compromising reliability.
Strengthening digital infrastructure in Latin America
As cloud adoption accelerates and AI workloads expand, Latin American economies require data centre infrastructure that is both resilient and sustainable.
ODATA’s green financing deal not only supports this regional demand but also positions the company as a benchmark for ESG-led growth in digital infrastructure.
With operations already established across Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia, ODATA is well placed to build facilities that combine cutting-edge technology with sustainability principles.
The company’s approach ensures it can meet the needs of hyperscalers, enterprises and service providers while contributing to the region’s climate goals.
The US$1.02bn financing demonstrates growing confidence from global financial institutions in the long-term role of sustainable data centres.
For ODATA, it represents both a milestone in its growth trajectory and a commitment to lead on efficiency, renewable energy and environmental stewardship across the sector.
