AWS — Brazil AI Infrastructure (Expansion)

In September 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a 10.1 billion reais (approximately $1.8 billion USD) investment in Brazil over 10 years to expand its cloud and generative AI infrastructure. This new funding focuses on the state of São Paulo, which currently hosts AWS’s only full cloud region in South America. The expansion aims to increase the capacity of existing Availability Zones and build new ones to support the surging adoption of AI by Brazilian companies, which a 2025 report indicated had reached 40% of businesses. AWS matches its global electricity consumption with 100% renewable energy, utilizing a 122 MW solar park and a 49.5 MW wind farm in Brazil to support its operations.
