Campinas city reported on August 20, 2026 that a permit authorizing substation works had been delivered for TerraNova. This is an electrical-infrastructure permitting milestone, not a completed data center or a general authorization for all campus construction. Terranova, an Actis-established platform, targets 2027 for its first Brazilian campus in Campinas. Actis's $1.5 billion and 1 GW figures apply across a wider Latin American platform, not to Campinas alone.
