Initial operations are expected to begin in 2027. ByteDance also signed a $2 billion, 20-year power purchase agreement with renewable energy developer Casa dos Ventos, securing wind-generated electricity from projects including the Ibiapaba complex; Omnia, managed by Pátria Investments, is also a development partner.\\n\\nThe facility will exclusively serve TikTok's operational needs in markets outside Brazil, the US, Europe, and China. Brazil's power grid — nearly 90% renewable — makes it an increasingly attractive base for hyperscale AI infrastructure, though the project's enormous energy draw is already squeezing out capacity that cryptocurrency miners and other power-hungry operations had been competing for.\\n\\nSources:\\n- https://cryptobriefing.com/bytedance-39b-data-center-brazil/\\n- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-01/tiktok-creator-bytedance-picks-brazil-for-largest-data-center-outside-china"}}
