Terra Innovatum has signed a letter of intent with Waiken ILW to deploy its SOLO micro-modular nuclear reactors (up to 8 MWe) for data centres serving DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil, marking the company's first announced commercial deployment in Latin America and validation of behind-the-meter nuclear power for telecom and media infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure and Energy Storage. 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 sell power, cooling, or resilience kit to data centres in Latin America, a new on-site nuclear buyer just entered the market with hard cash and three-year deployment windows. Waiken ILW is now your customer's customer—and they're not asking for grid connection anymore.
