Argentina's Patagonia Emerges as Potential Site for Large AI Data Centers
Argentina's Patagonia is attracting interest from tech companies to build large AI data centers, drawn by the region's cool climate, renewable energy, shale gas resources, and available land. Projects, including one near Neuquén's Loma de la Lata power plant, are in early stages with limited public attention. Unlike in the U.S., Argentina has yet to experience significant local opposition. Supporters highlight potential economic benefits, while challenges include infrastructure and connectivity in this remote area.
