Scala Data Centers Secures Approval for 600 MW Tamboré Campus Master Plan in São Paulo

Scala Data Centers has received approval for the master plan of its Tamboré Campus in Barueri, São Paulo, announced in a press release. The agreement, signed with the Municipality of Barueri, confirms the site as the largest and most advanced data center campus in Latin America, with a total capacity of 600 MW when fully developed.

The Tamboré Campus currently operates seven data centers totaling over 120 MW of active capacity, supported by three power substations. Future development phases will expand the complex to 17 data centers, placing it among the ten largest in the world. The project represents more than R$10 billion in investments and includes infrastructure improvements such as road modernization, mobility upgrades, and community enhancements.

The campus operates entirely on renewable energy through long-term power purchase agreements that fund new wind and solar farms. Its facilities achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.35 and use closed-loop cooling systems that avoid groundwater consumption. Located near São Paulo’s Rodoanel highway, the site is designed to support hyperscale and AI-driven workloads while contributing to regional job creation and urban development.
