"Datacentres are clustering in the state of Queretaro, where Amazon, Microsoft and Google are among those lining up multibillion-dollar investments. Amazon alone has said it will invest $5bn."
"The government heralds the industry as a new driver of economic growth but in a drought-prone state where the electrical grid suffered blackouts this summer, critics want to know how strained infrastructure will find the extra water and energy it needs."
"A datacentre is, in essence, a warehouse filled with computers working around the clock. The servers require vast amounts of electricity, and some combination of air and water to keep them cool."
"Queretaro was already a hub for datacentres in Mexico, but this year Amazon, Google and Microsoft announced or launched their own installations there, increasing the installed capacity significantly."
