The campus is designed with a total IT capacity of 400MW, with 200MW already energized in the first phase. The facility features advanced Delta Cube cooling technology specifically optimized for AI workloads.s
Atalait's USD 100 Million Investment: In October 2024, Mexican data center provider Atalait announced a USD 100 million investment to expand its data center in Metepec, enhancing its capabilities to support AI development and infrastructure
KIO Networks' Expansion: KIO Networks, Mexico's largest data center operator, is doubling its capacity by 2025, with a significant focus on its Mega Campus in Querétar,o where it has secured 50 MW of power
Energy and Sustainability Challenges in Mexico's AI Data Center Growth
Massive Power Requirements: According to the Mexican Association of Data Centers (MEXDC), the industry needs approximately 1,797 megawatts of energy over the next five years, with current consumption at around 305 megawatts
New data centers in Mexico are increasingly being designed to support AI workloads, with 43% of them requiring an additional 1,200MW of power. However, the current capacity stands at only 300MW. To meet the target of building 70 new data centers by 2029, an investment of at least USD 8.8 billion in electricity infrastructure is necessary.
Traditional water-cooled data centers can use approximately 6.75 million gallons of water per year per megawatt. In drought-prone regions like Querétaro, this has raised significant concerns about water availability for local communities.
Microsoft's Zero-Water Initiative: Microsoft is developing zero-water evaporative cooling systems for its data centers, featuring chip-level cooling solutions that eliminate the need for water in cooling operations. The company claims its data centers in Mexico will use less than 5% of the year's water for cooling.
