The Brazilian government's plan to offer tax incentives to data centers has sparked a dispute between the electric sector lobbies in Brasília. The plan, known as Redata, was approved by Congress and is set to be sanctioned by President Lula, but the regulation of tax benefits is now being debated. The original plan required data centers to use 100% clean and renewable energy sources, but the Senate altered the text to include "low-emission" sources, potentially allowing data centers to be powered by natural gas.
However, the renewables sector is pushing for restrictions on the use of gas, and sources say the government may limit its use to backup power only.
