Solaria technological and energy investment in Uruguay

Overview

President Yamandú Orsi announced a $5.7 billion investment from the Spanish firm Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente to develop a technological park in Uruguay. The project, described by the government as the largest investment in the country's history, integrates data centers and solar photovoltaic plants under a free zone regime.

The investment is structured in two phases. The first phase allocates $5.5 billion for data center infrastructure with a 200 MW capacity and $200 million for solar power generation of up to 350 MW. The second phase aims to add an additional 300 MW of data center capacity.

Facilities will be located across the departments of Canelones and San José, with the solar plant situated in Florida. The initiative seeks to leverage Uruguay's renewable energy matrix to meet global demand for digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence services. The construction phase is projected to create approximately 3,100 jobs by 2029, with 1,500 permanent positions expected once fully operational.
