Voltalia, a French renewable energy company, has signed an agreement with ONS (National System Operator) guaranteeing 322 MW of grid connection capacity at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex in Ceará.
The initiative aims to meet the growing energy demand of data center projects being developed in the region.
In a statement released this week, the company announced its intention to position itself as a strategic partner for digital infrastructure projects, a segment that demands high energy consumption and high reliability in supply.
According to the company, advanced negotiations are already underway with data center operators interested in setting up in Pecém. To serve this market, Voltalia plans to develop dedicated renewable energy generation projects, with a focus on wind power, offering a low-carbon energy supply.
This movement occurs amidst growing interest from technology companies in regions capable of offering large-scale renewable energy and adequate infrastructure for large data processing centers. In this context, Ceará has gained prominence for offering favorable conditions to receive new investments in the sector.
The company highlights that the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex has characteristics considered strategic for attracting large digital infrastructure projects, such as the availability of areas for expansion, access to the electricity grid, and a favorable location for international data connectivity.
In addition to energy availability, the state also benefits from the presence of international submarine cables, a factor considered relevant for the operation of data centers geared towards the global market.
Currently, Voltalia has approximately 3,6 GW of capacity in operation and under construction worldwide, in addition to a portfolio of approximately 12 GW in projects under development.
The company expects that the growing demand for digital services, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing will drive new investments in dedicated energy infrastructure, strengthening the integration between the renewable energy and technology sectors.
