Los Angeles-based startup X8 Cloud Infrastructure has announced plans to build an artificial intelligence and cloud services data center complex in Paraguay, leveraging hydroelectric power. They signed an agreement with Paraguay's National Electricity Administration (Ande), represented by Felix Sosa, president of Ande, to develop what is described as "the largest AI infrastructure in Latin America."
X8 Cloud seeks to "reinvent the way in which data centers can operate in a sustainable way," said Juan Carlos Dueñas, founder and CEO of the multinational, while affirming that the project will offer Brazilian companies "AI infrastructure under US jurisdiction, with Brazilian data protection rules and transparent governance, as well as significantly lower costs in training and language model inference."
According to the company, commercial operations are scheduled to start in early 2026 with an initial capacity of 50MW, which will be expanded to 500MW in 2027.
