Brazil's data centres draw 2 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 19th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 0.3% of everything the country generates — below the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 0.6 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 39% load factor.
2 metros are tracked here, totalling 627 MW, of which São Paulo alone is 537 MW — 86% of the national total.
90 MW of that is not yet operating: it is under construction or still an announcement.
Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Systems & Facility on the physical basis, at #15 of 54.
It does not register at all on Silicon, Memory & Storage or Networking.
One supplier is domiciled here, WEG, booking roughly $6bn.
About $5bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Brazil, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Where Brazil ranks
The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.

Revenue is the group or segment figure closest to each tier's perimeter. Segment boundaries differ between issuers, so treat the split as indicative.
