## AI 摘要

阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚因凉爽气候、水电风电及Vaca Muerta页岩气等条件，正吸引大型AI数据中心项目。Pampa Energía计划在Neuquén省建设最高500兆瓦设施，首批合同预计2026年底签署；波兰Green Capital拟在Chubut先建300兆瓦，长期规划3000兆瓦。目前当地尚无美国式反对声浪，但电网接入、海底电缆及2027年总统大选后的投资稳定性仍是未知数。

Argentina's Patagonia is drawing attention as a possible site for large AI data centers. A cool climate, hydropower, wind energy, shale gas from the Vaca Muerta formation, and plenty of empty land are the draw, according to a Reuters report.

Power producer Pampa Energía plans a facility of up to 500 megawatts in Neuquén province and is looking for investors, with the first contracts expected by the end of 2026. Interested parties want to start with 20 to 40 megawatts. The grid infrastructure for the full build-out alone would cost around $900 million. Polish company Green Capital wants to start with 300 megawatts in Chubut, with 3,000 megawatts planned over the long term. OpenAI announced a project with Sur Energy back in October, but it hasn't been signed yet.

Unlike in the US, there's been no pushback against server farms in Argentina so far, because the country barely has any large facilities yet. That could change. Pampa wants to build next to its Loma de la Lata power plant, and Indigenous Mapuche families live there who have clashed with energy companies several times before. Grid connection, undersea cables, and how stable investment conditions will be after the 2027 presidential election also remain open questions.
