The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.
Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number.

The market remains concentrated among established players with no recent deal activity recorded in this cycle.
New power procurement will require direct engagement with grid operators and potentially negotiated access arrangements rather than surplus availability.
This absence does not reflect market stagnation but rather the regional pattern: market development outside São Paulo—Rio, Fortaleza, and greenfield sites south of the city—has drawn disclosed activity, while São Paulo's existing operator base appears focused on site optimization and grid relationship management rather than high-profile transactions.
Power grid delays and permitting timelines remain the decisive factors for new capacity in São Paulo, as they are across Brazil's data center markets; operators planning expansion must assume extended procurement cycles and regulatory coordination will govern deployment schedules more than facility design or capital availability.
