AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Investment: President Yamandú Orsi’s government has signed a $5.7 billion deal with Spain’s Solaria for a data-center campus with up to 500 megawatts of capacity in Canelones and San José. About $200 million is earmarked for a solar plant, and Orsi pointed to Uruguay’s renewable power and political stability as key draws. Regional Strains: Uruguay joined Argentina and Paraguay in facing floods as El Niño rains swelled major rivers, prompting evacuations across the region. Foreign Policy: Montevideo offered to send solar panels to Cuba and urged dialogue, while Caracas criticized Uruguay’s refusal to restore diplomatic ties. Papal Visit: Preparations continue for Pope Leo XIV’s planned November trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru as he recovers from lung cancer surgery.
