Scala Data Centers and Serena sign a renewable energy supply agreement to start in 2025.
The partnership will see the delivery of 393 MW of wind power from the Assuruá 4 and Ventos da Bahia 3 wind farms in the Brazilian state of Bahia.
This energy volume is designed to meet the requirements of hyperscale data centers, which are expanding rapidly, particularly for workloads linked to artificial intelligence.
Increasing energy demand, particularly in the data center sector, calls for sustainable and reliable solutions.
The agreement with Serena enables Scala to secure a renewable energy source for a decade, offering stability of supply while reducing the environmental impact of its operations.

Impact on the Latin American data center market

The data center market in Latin America is undergoing radical change, with growing demand for infrastructures capable of supporting increasingly heavy workloads.
Renewable energy is becoming a key competitive factor, making it possible not only to meet energy needs, but also to comply with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements to reduce carbon emissions.
This agreement is essential to Scala’s long-term development strategy, which aims to strengthen its market presence while optimizing its energy footprint.
Serena, for its part, continues to expand in the renewable energy sector, capitalizing on its expertise to provide energy solutions tailored to the needs of data centers.
The agreement is based on the usual conditions for this type of partnership, with significant implications for the future of energy infrastructure in Latin America.
Scala and Serena are thus positioning themselves as major players in the energy transition of the data center sector, without committing themselves to an ecological discourse, but remaining focused on the performance and sustainability of their operations.
