Terra Innovatum has signed a commercial Letter of Intent with Waiken ILW to deploy SOLO™ micro-modular reactors at DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil data centres, providing up to 8 MWe of behind-the-meter nuclear power. This marks Terra Innovatum's first commercial deployment in Latin America and signals growing demand for clean nuclear energy to power mission-critical digital infrastructure.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy and Data Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build data centre power systems or cooling infrastructure, broadcasters and cloud operators in Latin America now have a proven path to nuclear-backed resilience—and they'll need suppliers for everything Terra Innovatum doesn't make. This LOI validates behind-the-metre nuclear at scale; the second wave is vendors selling into the installation.
