Enable Colombia.

Velocity, cable, campus. A year of intelligence on the fastest growing data centre market in Latin America. Convened at GTC in San Francisco and the Four Seasons Casa Medina, Bogotá. The published spine on a 28.4 per cent CAGR, two new submarine cables and a USD 1.3 billion campus programme reshaping where compute lands in the Andean north.

01 — Why now

The Andean inflection. Cable, campus, capital.

120MW

ODATA's BG03 campus on the outskirts of Bogotá. The largest AI-ready data centre announcement in the region.

80MW

Microsoft's Azure Colombia capacity already operational. Google Cloud at 40 MW. The hyperscalers are landed.

2026

CSN-1 and TAM-1 cables in service. Latency and capacity transformed at the Caribbean landing.

Colombia is the velocity story. The fastest growing colocation market in Latin America, anchored by a sixty per cent hydroelectric grid, two new submarine cable landings at Barranquilla, and a campus programme on the Bogotá perimeter that puts the country in the AI infrastructure conversation for the first time.

At the centre of the story: ODATA's USD 1.3 billion campus programme (BG02 operational, BG03 a 120 MW AI campus under build), Azure and Google Cloud already on the ground, the CSN-1 and TAM-1 cables transforming connectivity at Barranquilla, and a regulatory environment that is, for the first time, organising itself around digital infrastructure. Enable Colombia is the published intelligence project on how Colombia's data centre decade is being decided.

04 — The pillars

Three star components: The Grid. The Connectivity. The Velocity.

Pillar 01

The Grid

Hydroelectric, the clean way

  • The 60 per cent hydroelectric grid mapped by node and operator
  • Power cost, El Niño risk and the drought-year arithmetic
  • Bogotá load centre and the perimeter substation question
  • The Plan Energético Nacional and what it signals for AI campus build
Pillar 02

The Connectivity

Two cables, the corridor

  • CSN-1 and TAM-1 in service, the Caribbean transformed
  • Barranquilla landing, the cable station ecosystem
  • Curie, ARCOS, the existing landings, and the upgrade roadmap
  • How Colombia becomes the alternative gateway to Miami
Pillar 03

The Velocity

28.4% CAGR, the fastest in LatAm

  • The colocation market, named operator by operator
  • ODATA's BG02 and BG03 in profile, the campus economics
  • Azure and Google Cloud on the ground, AWS positioning
  • How the hyperscaler footprint reshapes everything downstream
05 — What the report contains

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

Velocity, cable, campus publishes Q3 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, campus, 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 (Q4 2027), Cable & Connectivity (Q1 2028), Campus & Operators (Q2), Capital & Outlook (Q3). 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.
