Record Notes

Scala AI City is a planned gigawatt-scale data-center campus in Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. Scala announced the project with the Rio Grande do Sul government in 2024, describing a first phase of 54 MW and potential full development to 4.75 GW. In May 2025, Scala announced that Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy authorized a 5 GW ramp-up connection for Scala AI City to the National Interconnected System, and said the fully built campus would have 4.75 GW of capacity. ADCI changes the record from operational to planned because opened sources support a planned campus and energy authorization, not a fully operational 4.75 GW facility. The selected 4,750 MW value is the planned full-build campus power envelope tied to the authorized grid connection, not current IT load.
