The Polish company Green Capital announced an ambitious project to build a megadata center dedicated to artificial intelligence in Chubut, the first stage of which would require an investment of between US$3 billion and US$5 billion. The complex will be located south of Trelew and will combine large-scale digital infrastructure with its own renewable energy generation.
The venture, named Atlas GigaHub, was presented at the Polish Embassy in Argentina, where the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Schneider Electric, Wärtsilä, Envision Energy, and Ore Energy. The event was attended by Governor Ignacio Torres and representatives from PromArgentina, the national agency responsible for promoting investments and foreign trade.
Green Capital has been working on the initiative for almost two years and has already leased 130,000 hectares belonging to 14 owners. The agreement includes six years to develop the project and another 60 for its operation. The company also reported that it has conducted environmental impact studies and completed the technical and legal review of the land.
In the first phase, the data center aims to achieve a power output of 300 megawatts. The ultimate goal is to reach 3,000 MW of energy capacity dedicated to technological infrastructure. The company intends to finalize discussions with investors and potential clients by 2027, while the start of construction is projected for 2028.
