Brazil Attracts $9.1B TikTok Data Center Investment with Green Energy Incentives
ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, is partnering with Brazilian renewable energy firm Casa dos Ventos to construct a $9.1 billion data center at Ceará's Pecém port complex. The project, set to break ground within six months, leverages Brazil's REDATA tax incentives for clean energy-powered infrastructure.
The 300-megawatt facility underscores Brazil's dual strategy of positioning itself as both a regional digital hub and a renewable energy leader. REDATA offers significant tax breaks for data centers built after January 2026 that utilize sustainable power sources.
This investment signals growing confidence in Brazil's tech infrastructure capabilities while aligning with global trends toward energy-efficient computing. The Pecém location provides strategic access to undersea fiber optic cables and renewable energy resources.
