Clean energy-driven data centers to receive $1 billion investment from Patria; Patria announces new platform for clean energy data center investment

Patria Investments Launches Omnia to Address Growing Demand for Sustainable Data Centers in Latin America

Patria Investments, a leading Latin American investment firm, has announced the launch of a new platform called Omnia. The purpose of Omnia is to develop, build, and operate large-scale data centers in Latin America, with a focus on sustainability.

According to Felipe Pinto, Managing Partner of Patria's Infrastructure Investments in Latin America, Omnia's role is to support the growth of global AI data center infrastructure in the region. The first data center campus is expected to start construction in Brazil in the second half of 2025.

The global demand for data centers is projected to double by 2030, driven by AI and cloud adoption. In Latin America, data center capacity is forecasted to more than triple over the coming years. This growth presents a significant challenge for companies aiming to decarbonize, as several tech giants, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, have identified increased energy needs for AI-driven data center growth as a challenge to their environmental goals.

Omnia's data centers will be powered by green, renewable energy and will minimize water usage for cooling. These projects are designed to accommodate high-density AI workloads and have reduced environmental footprints.

The expected investments for these projects will exceed $1 billion. Rodrigo Abreu, the CEO of Omnia and a Digital Infrastructure Operating Partner at Patria Investments, believes that Omnia has great potential due to its track record and expertise in Energy, Data Centers, and Real Estate.

It's worth noting that the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that AI-driven data center power usage could double by 2026. However, as of now, no search results specify companies planning to expand their data centers on the Omnia platform to achieve their environmental goals.

The required new capital investment for Latin American data centers is estimated to be up to USD 50 billion. With Omnia's initial focus on 100+ MW campus projects, it could play a significant role in meeting this demand while addressing the environmental concerns associated with data center growth.

The launch of Omnia is in response to growing demand for sustainability in data centers. As more companies prioritize their environmental impact, platforms like Omnia are poised to become essential players in the data center industry.
