Record Notes
Elea Data Centers describes Rio AI City as a digital ecosystem in Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park region for AI and cloud workloads across Latin America. Elea's official project page says the first phase starts with 1.5 GW of certified renewable energy capacity and can scale to 3.2 GW. Elea's May 2025 announcement says the first phase includes the operational RJO1 data center and RJO2 construction/delivery beginning in 2026, with about 80 MW from RJO2, later RJO3/RJO4 additions, and expansion until the first phase reaches 1.5 GW.
ADCI keeps 1,500 MW as a phased campus/district renewable energy-capacity envelope, not current delivered IT load. The record is moved off the single IndustrialInfo source and onto Elea official/primary sources; status remains under construction because the 1.5 GW first-phase envelope is not fully delivered.
