6 networks are listed at the sites in Contagem according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Contagem are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 51.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 51.8%, wind 15.7%, solar 11.8%, natural gas 7.3%, bioenergy 7.3%, coal 2.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 11.3% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 110 g of CO2, i.e. 4.2 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 3.9 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Contagem since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

With a single listed site, Contagem cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside Contagem is 12 km away, in Belo Horizonte (11 sites). Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
