伙伴关系的作用和执行发言
阿拉伊科公司将领导该项目的地方开发和场地基础设施，而克鲁索公司将管理、操作和交付克鲁索云的实际计算。 Crusoe 称这一安排将当地基础设施发展专门知识与其AI工厂和云操作跟踪记录结合起来。
称 Cully Cavness是克鲁索的共同创始人、总裁和首席战略官员，伊泰普大坝的Cavness 称为巴拉圭提供了世界上最丰富的可再生电力资源之一，称公司的能源第一战略旨在通过先进的数字基础设施从这种资源中创造价值。
Araico CEO Alejandro Zucccolillo 称将Itaipú’s的水电能力与Crusoe建设和管理AI基础设施的能力对齐，保持了巴拉圭可再生能源的价值，将丰富的能源转化为高科技工业增长、当地就业和数字创新。
巴拉圭的自然资源和带来工作、投资、技术及创新为国家创造了新的价值。 他为巴拉圭提供了持久变革的可扩展模式，并有机会在人工智能基础设施方面成为区域领导人。
协定在美国贸易代表团期间定稿
美国国务院发言人办公室在2026年10月21日的概况介绍中记录了该协议。 根据概况介绍，副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道(Christopher Landau)于2026年10月19日至21日率领美国贸易代表团前往亚松森，专注于扩大美国投资，为美国公司在技术，关键矿物，河流基础设施，物流等领域创造机会。 访问期间，兰道会见了佩尼亚总统和外交部长拉米雷斯，克鲁索释放了指出，协议签署时兰道正在率领美国驻巴拉圭商务代表团。
事实简介指出，Crusoe公司被确定为一家美国公司，Araico公司最后敲定了战略伙伴关系协议，并将该项目定性为巴拉圭历史上最大的私人投资之一。 在克鲁索发布稿中，Landau 称项目有可能成为巴拉圭历史上最大的外国私人投资，并补充说，美国资本和专门技能将把巴拉圭建成世界一流的技术强国，它加强了两国之间的长期联系。
概况介绍列出了这次访问的进一步承诺。 铀能源公司宣布投资1 200万美元，在巴拉圭开发铀特许权之一。 兰道和拉米雷斯签署了一项空中拦截援助协定，随后通过外交指出的交换而生效，称部门的目的是提高巴拉圭监测和保护领空不受可疑贩毒飞行影响的能力。 两人还签署了一份意向备忘录，内容涉及向巴拉圭部署个人身份安全比较和评估系统，这是一个边境管理和旅客检查系统。
国务院称正在提供550万美元的外国援助，以扩大打击资助恐怖主义的活动，支持对毒品恐怖分子的问责，并启用一个新的反恐中心，以及启动侧重于边境安全和数字证据能力的项目，同时提供625万美元的双边安全援助，以应对跨国有组织犯罪。 该局还准备向亚松森派遣一名反恐顾问，这是该区域反恐局的第一个此类职位，并在亚松森设立第一个国际麻醉品和执法事务局办事处，作为南锥体区域方案协调中心。
两国政府还开始就美国《原子能法》协定进行谈判，该协定被称为123协定。 概况介绍指出，一旦生效，这种协定将为美国公司根据核安全、保安和不扩散的最高标准向巴拉圭出口大量民用核设备和材料提供必要的法律框架。

Partnerships
Crusoe and Araico Plan AI Cloud Deployment at Itaipú Dam in Paraguay
Add Unite.AI to your preferred sources on Google
Crusoe on October 22, 2026 announced a strategic partnership with Paraguayan energy and infrastructure developer Araico to build high-performance AI compute infrastructure in Paraguay powered by the Itaipú Hydroelectric Dam, with an initial deployment planned online in mid-2027 and a stated path to 106 MW of IT capacity. The company said the initiative is its first dedicated AI Cloud deployment in Latin America.
Crusoe said the facility will be located adjacent to the Itaipú substation and will draw power directly from the dam, which the company describes as one of the world’s largest and most reliable 100% renewable hydroelectric power sources. Long-term options would expand the site to approximately 280 MW total. The facility is planned to serve U.S. cloud customers as well as growing demand within Latin America through the Crusoe Cloud platform, advancing the company’s strategy of locating AI compute directly at abundant energy sources. Crusoe said the project extends its footprint of energy-aligned AI infrastructure from North America and Europe into Latin America and deepens digital infrastructure ties across the Western Hemisphere.
Partnership Roles and Executive Statements
Araico will lead local development and site infrastructure for the project, while Crusoe will manage, operate, and deliver the physical compute for Crusoe Cloud. Crusoe said the arrangement pairs local infrastructure development expertise with its AI factory and cloud operations track record.
“Crusoe was founded on a simple idea: build digital infrastructure where power is abundant, accessible and environmentally-aligned,” said Cully Cavness, Crusoe’s co-founder, president, and chief strategy officer, in the partnership announcement. Cavness said the Itaipú dam gives Paraguay one of the most abundant renewable power resources in the world, and said the company’s energy-first strategy is designed to create value from precisely that kind of resource through advanced digital infrastructure.
Araico CEO Alejandro Zuccolillo said pairing Itaipú’s hydroelectric capacity with Crusoe’s ability to build and manage AI infrastructure keeps more of the value of Paraguay’s renewable power in the country, converting energy abundance into high-tech industrial growth, local employment, and digital innovation.
President Santiago Peña said the project creates new value from Paraguay’s natural resources and brings jobs, investment, technology, and innovation to the country. He said it gives Paraguay a scalable model for lasting change and an opportunity to establish itself as a regional leader in AI infrastructure.
Agreement Finalized During U.S. Trade Delegation
The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Spokesman documented the agreement in a fact sheet dated October 21, 2026. According to the fact sheet, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau led a U.S. trade delegation to Asunción from October 19 to 21, 2026, focused on expanding U.S. investment and creating opportunities for U.S. companies in technology, critical minerals, riverine infrastructure, and logistics. Landau met with President Peña and Foreign Minister Ramírez during the trip, and the Crusoe release notes that Landau was leading the U.S. business delegation in Paraguay when the agreement was signed.
The fact sheet states that Crusoe, which it identifies as an American company, and Araico finalized the strategic partnership agreement, and it characterizes the project as potentially one of the largest private investments in Paraguay’s history. In the Crusoe release, Landau said the project has the potential to be the largest private foreign investment in Paraguayan history, adding that American capital and know-how will establish Paraguay as a world-class tech powerhouse and that it reinforces the longstanding bonds between the two countries.
The fact sheet lists further commitments from the visit. Uranium Energy Corp announced a $12 million investment to develop one of its uranium concessions in Paraguay. Landau and Ramírez signed an Aerial Intercept Assistance Agreement, to be brought into force through a subsequent exchange of diplomatic notes, which the department says is intended to improve Paraguay’s ability to monitor and protect its airspace against suspected narcotrafficking flights. The two also signed a Memorandum of Intent covering the deployment to Paraguay of the Personal Identification Secure Comparison and Evaluation System, a border management and passenger screening system.
The State Department said it is providing $5.5 million in foreign assistance to expand efforts against terrorist financing, support accountability for narco-terrorists, and operationalize a new counterterrorism center, and to begin projects focused on border security and digital evidence capabilities, along with $6.25 million in bilateral security assistance to address transnational organized crime. The department also said it is preparing to deploy a counterterrorism advisor to Asunción, the first position of its kind for the Counterterrorism bureau in the region, and announced the creation of the first Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs office in Asunción, which will serve as a regional hub for program coordination in the Southern Cone.
The two governments also announced the start of negotiations toward a U.S. Atomic Energy Act Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, known as a 123 Agreement. The fact sheet states that, once in force, such an agreement would set the legal framework required for U.S. companies to export significant civil nuclear equipment and material to Paraguay under the highest standards of nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation.
