ByteDance is considering expanding its data center project at Pecém Port in Ceará State, northeastern Brazil, and is seeking developers to advance the second phase of the project, which qualifies for tax incentives on data exports. The scale of this expansion will exceed that of the local project currently under construction (which involves a US$10 billion investment and an installed capacity of 300 megawatts). Meanwhile, ByteDance is in preliminary negotiations for a data center project of similar scale outside Pecém Port to serve local Brazilian customers. Chile, Argentina, and other countries are also introducing incentive policies and building infrastructure to compete for similar investments, and whether Brazil can maintain its competitiveness in data center construction is at stake. This move aims to increase hardware investment, improve the configuration level of data center equipment, support the strategy of building AI into its next growth engine, and consolidate its position as a leading builder of computing power facilities in Latin America.
