— DATA-CENTRE SITES

Hydroelectric power. Industrial land. End-to-end coordination.

Paraguay generates 88.5% of its electricity from Itaipú and Yacyretá — the third- and fourteenth-largest hydroelectric plants in the world by output. The country has been a chronic exporter of surplus power. ANDE's special intensive-consumption tariff is published at USD 44/MWh for qualifying loads. We are the on-the-ground advisor for international buyers acquiring industrial sites adjacent to that infrastructure.

— THE POWER STORY

Why Paraguay attracts hyperscale capital.

  • USD 44/MWh ANDE intensive-consumption tariff
  • 88.5%of national supply from Itaipú alone
  • 14 GWItaipú combined capacity (50/50 with Brazil)
  • 3.2 GWYacyretá capacity (with Argentina)

Paraguay's per-capita generation is among the highest in the world relative to internal demand. Surplus is currently sold below market rates to neighbouring grids; redirecting a fraction of it to qualifying high-load consumers — under the ANDE special tariff and the maquila regime — is national policy. Recent campus announcements (HIVE Digital's 400 MW Yguazú expansion; X8 Cloud's multi-billion-dollar AI compute build) confirm the operational viability for international hyperscalers.

— WHAT WE COORDINATE

Five workstreams. One representative.

  • Site identification

    Industrial parcels in Alto Paraná (Hernandarias, Yguazú), Itapúa (Encarnación corridor), and Central department. Power-adjacency, fibre routes, road access, water, and zoning verified.

  • Power offtake

    Coordination with ANDE for connection feasibility, capacity allocation, and the special intensive-consumption tariff. Itaipú and Yacyretá direct-supply arrangements where capacity allows.

  • Regulatory framework

    Maquila regime structuring (Law 1064), free-trade zone alternatives, MITIC notifications, environmental licensing (SEAM/MADES), and municipal permits.

  • Title diligence

    Public Registry title search, debt and lien check, border-zone confirmation, environmental encumbrance, water rights and surface easements.

  • Closing & structuring

    Escribanía-managed escrow, escritura pública, and registration. Holding-entity formation (SRL or SA), tax structuring, and Investor Pass residency for principals where useful.

  • Government relations

    Coordinated introductions to ANDE, MITIC, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Itaipú/Yacyretá technical offices. We do not represent Paraguay; we represent you to Paraguay.

— ENGAGEMENT

How a data-centre engagement runs.

Engagements at this scale are bespoke. A typical mandate includes a written brief covering target capacity (MW), preferred footprint (hectares), latency or tier requirements, equity vs. lease structure, and target operational date. We respond within one business day with a feasibility assessment, the named partner team for the engagement (real-estate counsel, regulatory counsel, energy advisor), and the engagement-fee structure. Capital does not move at this stage. NDA is mutual and signed before specific sites are introduced.

Most data-centre site searches close in 6–12 months from signed brief, depending on connection-feasibility studies and capacity allocation. Smaller edge sites (single-MW, modular) close in 90–120 days.
