ByteDance is considering a second phase of its data center project at the Port of Pecém in Brazil’s northeastern Ceará state and is looking for developers to build it, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The proposed expansion would be larger than the existing 300-megawatt project under construction in the state.
The company has also held preliminary talks about a separate facility outside the port to serve Brazilian customers. The port project can qualify for tax incentives by serving customers abroad. [Bloomberg]
