Scala Brazilian Data Centers Portfolio

active

This project involves the expansion of the Brazilian data centers portfolio of Scala Data Centers through the construction of hyperscale data centers to address the increasing demand for cloud services in the region. The IT infrastructures will be built with maximum energy efficiency, an average annual PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of less than 1.45. The strategy includes 100% of data centers powered by certified renewable energy, in a completely carbon-neutral operation. The total project cost is $215m provided with green debentures issued by the sponsor and maturing in six years. Bradesco BBI acted as lead coordinator, along with the UBS BB as coordinator. The operation was issued in BRL with a swap for USD, to maintain the debt issuance in the same currency as the contracts established between the company and its clients, as a protection against possible exchange rate fluctuations. The financial close date is November 21st, 2023. https://x.realfin.com/transaction/249721/scala-data-center-green-debenture-2023 https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/scala-data-centers-issues-215m-in-green-debenture/ https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/scala-data-centers-announces-new-issuance-of-green-debentures-worth-us-215-million-301994899.html https://www.lightwaveonline.com/home/article/14301880/scala-data-centers-issues-215m-in-green-debentures https://telecomtalk.info/scala-datacenters-expansion-usd215-million-green-debenture/899290/
