Summary
$200 million is the planned size of a Taiwan-backed data center in Paraguay, a rare investment aimed at reinforcing ties with Taipei’s only diplomatic ally in South America.
10 megawatts of computing capacity are envisioned for the facility, which Paraguayan officials want operating by the end of 2027.
Taiwan’s International Cooperation and Development Fund has approached Google, Microsoft and Amazon to test interest in investing in the project or buying its computing capacity.
Washington backs the Taiwan-Paraguay relationship, making the project part of a broader effort to shore up diplomatic support for Taipei.
