CloudHQ’s GRU campus in Paulínia is planned for 288 MW of critical IT capacity across six 48 MW buildings. Afonso França labels its project completed and describes phase-one pre-engineering and earthworks within a three-building scope; its conflicting building-delivery tenses do not establish commissioned halls. AFGM describes a scoped 144 MW design engagement. Published land and building areas remain unreconciled. Plans include on-site substations and dedicated connectivity ducts; the contractor describes a 250 MW substation, distinct from IT capacity. CETESB received an operating-license application for the 440 kV Replan–CloudHQ transmission line.

Site & development

Site location

Reported rounded

Paulínia in Campinas region; operator point -22.77089,-47.10425 identifies campus. Surveyed parcel boundary not recovered.

Source

Reviewed gru area context

Reported rounded

The operator advertises 153,972 m² without defining its area basis. AFGM labels that figure land area and reports approximately 165,000 m² built area. Afonso França describes 265,000 m² land and 165,000 m² building scope but also displays 235,124 m² as built area. These dimensions remain unreconciled.

Additional project facts

Reviewed gru work context

Reported rounded

Afonso França labels its Paulínia project completed and describes phase one pre engineering and earthworks within a three building development. The individual project page describes the buildings in past tense, while its works list narrative still uses future tense despite a completed label. These undated descriptions do not establish data hall commissioning or completion of CloudHQ’s six building campus.

Source

Reviewed gru design context

Reported rounded

AFGM identifies CloudHQ as client for its Paulínia GRU design engagement, describing 144 MW IT and site layout, IT buildings, technical rooms, substations and support buildings. This is a scoped design engagement, not operating capacity or proof of full campus delivery. AFGM cites CloudHQ; this is not independent capacity corroboration and the 144 MW scope is not automatically assigned to commercial phase one.

Source

Reviewed gru substation context

Reported rounded

Afonso França describes a 250 MW high voltage substation within its Paulínia project scope. This is contractor attributed utility infrastructure, not additional IT capacity or independently verified energized allocation.
