Power, Grid & Data Centers

Renewable-energy developer Solaria plans a solar facility in Uruguay to supply 500 MW of power to a data center near Montevideo.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the October 14, 2026 edition

The project is a reported development plan. Financial_Express relayed Bloomberg reporting, attributed to people familiar with the matter, that Spanish clean-energy company Solaria Energia y Medio Ambiente intended to build a photovoltaic facility in Uruguay. Its stated purpose is to supply 500 megawatts, or MW, of power to a data center near Montevideo.

The capacity figure describes the planned power support. The source does not identify the data-center operator or specify its computing equipment. It also does not establish that 500 MW is an operating information-technology load or a completed grid connection.

The report does not provide a financing or construction milestone. No investment amount, signed power-purchase agreement, storage configuration, or commissioning date appears in the supplied message. The project should therefore remain classified as an attributed plan, not an operating solar facility or secured round-the-clock supply.
