Power struggle: will Brazil’s booming datacentre industry leave ordinary people in the dark?

Guardian

85% Informative

46 new datacentres are either under construction or being planned across the country.

Brazil has one of the world’s cleanest power grids, but its reliance on hydroelectric power causes fluctuations in power generation and blackouts in times of drought.

More than 1.3 million Brazilians still live, like Silva , with little or no electricity.

Amazon plans to invest 10.1bn reais ( 1.35bn ) in expanding its datacentre and infrastructure over the next 10 years .

Microsoft is planning to invest R$14.7bn in the country..

Datacentre industry consumes about 31% of Brazil ’s energy, second only to transport.

Experts fear that high water consumption will raise pressure on the power grid.

Lower water levels in reservoirs raise the chances of blackouts and increase demand for pricier and more polluting thermal power plants.
