Enable Chile.

Power, Pacific, Plan. A year of intelligence on the Pacific gateway of Latin American digital infrastructure, convened at the Pacific Telecommunications Conference in Honolulu and the Mandarin Oriental, Santiago. The published spine on a market growing toward USD 1.7 billion on the back of a fifty per cent renewable grid and a National Data Center Plan in active delivery.

01 — Why now

The Pacific gateway is opening.

$7B+

Named hyperscaler commitments. AWS USD 4 billion. Microsoft USD 3 billion plus. Google announced a Curauma campus.

Q4 2026

Humboldt subsea cable in service. The first direct Pacific link between South America and the Asia-Pacific basin.

30+

Projects in the active pipeline under the National Data Center Plan 2024 to 2030.

Chile sits at a unique intersection. A grid that ran 50 per cent on renewables in 2024, vast solar and wind capacity in the north, a stable regulatory environment, and a coastline that links the South American continent to the Asia-Pacific basin. The country's National Data Center Plan 2024 to 2030 is the most articulated piece of digital infrastructure policy in the region.

At the centre of the story: AWS's USD 4 billion commitment in the central region, Microsoft's expansion at scale, the Humboldt cable entering service in late 2026, and the question of where Chile sits in a hemisphere where Brazil dominates volume and Colombia leads growth. Enable Chile is the year-long intelligence project on how the Pacific gateway gets built.

04 — The pillars

Three star components: The Grid. The Pacific. The Policy.

Pillar 01

The Grid

Renewable power, the differentiator

  • The 50 per cent renewable grid mapped by node and operator
  • The cost of power, the green PPAs, the curtailment risk
  • Northern solar and wind moving to central load centres
  • The transmission build, ANEEL equivalent and concession framework
Pillar 02

The Pacific

Subsea cable, the corridor

  • The Humboldt cable, Q4 2026 in service, the first direct South America to Asia-Pacific link
  • Curie, Mistral, the existing landings at Valparaíso and Arica
  • Latency arithmetic, content distribution, the cloud edge
  • How the cable rewires Chile's place in global compute
Pillar 03

The Plan

The most articulated policy in the region

  • The National Data Center Plan 2024 to 2030 in delivery
  • Water, land use, environmental licensing and the social licence
  • The Ministry, CORFO, SubTel and the inter-ministerial coordination
  • What Chile's policy package signals to Brasília and Bogotá
05 — What the report contains

A year of access, to the people building Pacific compute.

Power, Pacific, Plan publishes Q2 2028. The document of record produced by twelve months of primary research, two convenings and the working library across the year. Not a synthesis of public sources.

/ 01 · The flagship

A 150 page flagship.

Nine chapters across grid, cable, plan, capital and operators. Original survey data. Forty named interviews. Published in English and Spanish, digital and premium print.

/ 02 · Quarterly chapters

Four ~40 page chapters.

The report serialised across the year. Grid & Power (Q3 2027), Cable & Connectivity (Q4), Plan & Policy (Q1 2028), Operators & Capital (Q2). Each stands alone.

/ 03 · The dataset

120 structured responses.

Original survey across operators, developers, capital allocators, regulators and ecosystem suppliers. Five cohorts. Designed for citation, anonymised at segment level.

/ 04 · Convening access

Honolulu & Santiago.

Cohort and partner readers receive invitations to PTC Honolulu (January 2028, 30 guests) and the Santiago Deployment (April 2028, 100 guests).
