On 14 October 2025, President Yamandú Orsi of Uruguay signed a landmark US$5.7 billion deal with Spanish company Solaria for a massive data centre park. The project will span 500 megawatts of computing capacity, with the first phase of data centres and solar farms set to be constructed in the departments of Canelones, San José, and Florida.
This investment marks Uruguay as the largest in its region, positioning the South American nation as a key hub for clean energy computing. The government projects the park will employ 1,500 people permanently upon completion, and has deemed the deal a signal of stable and transparent regulations in Uruguay. Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente, a Spanish solar power producer, will build the solar farms, while the data centres will be located first in Canelones and later in San José.
The agreement, while confidential, has been completed within five months, and the government claims the investment exceeds previous megaprojects.
