Data Centres: Boom and Backlash: Brazil auctions its grid to data centresBackground
Digital DC Brasil was the third winner in Brazil's opening competitive grid-access round, alongside two Pahlavan projects. Over 6 and 7 October 2026 the grid operator put 228 MW on offer at four São Paulo connection points; seven qualified bidders sought 451 MW, about double, and the three winners absorbed all of it.
Litigation shadowed the round. During the same week a federal appeals judge halted new awards at the Replan substation after a challenge from Pahlavan, until the regulator ANEEL ruled.
In Brazil the company trades as NextStream, according to the energy trade outlet eixos, and runs a data centre on the Tamboré campus at Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo state. It applied to the Ministry of Mines and Energy in May 2025 for new load to expand that site. NextStream operates 11 data centres, almost all of them in Latin America.
