Spain Advances Role in Europe Digital Future with Accelerating Colocation Growth

Spain is rapidly positioning itself as a leading hub for data center colocation in Europe, with 63 operational facilities as of December 2024. Madrid remains the core market, hosting over 30 centers supported by advanced infrastructure and cloud investments. Established operators such as Merlin Properties, Digital Realty, Nabiax, Equinix, Data4 Group, CyrusOne, and Global Switch dominate the landscape, while new players including Prime Data Centers, QTS Data Centers, and Global Technical Realty are fueling further growth and competition.

This momentum is reinforced by Europe's push for digital sovereignty and sustainable cloud infrastructure. A landmark example was Oracle's USD 1 billion investment in 2024, expanding AI and cloud services through a third Madrid cloud region with Telefonica Espana. Market dynamics are also evolving, retail colocation, which accounted for 69% in 2024, is projected to drop to 22% by 2030, as wholesale colocation surges to 78%, reflecting rising demand for large-scale, AI-driven infrastructure.

Spain Strengthens Position as a Strategic Destination for Data Center Investments

* 5G Rollout: Government initiatives like the UNICO program are expanding nationwide broadband and 5G coverage, enhancing digital readiness for enterprises and service providers.
* Robust Energy Infrastructure & Grid Stability: High power availability, smart grid integration, and renewable energy ensure reliable operations for data centers.
* Government Incentives & Support: Tax incentives and regulatory benefits make Spain attractive for data center development. For example, operators in Special Economic Zones benefit from reduced corporate tax rates and VAT advantages.
* Strategic Location in Western Europe: Spain offers a favorable environment for data center expansion, with moderate environmental risks compared to other European regions, despite exposure to floods, droughts, and storms linked to climate change.

Net-Zero Ambitions: Spain Data Centers Lead the Way in Sustainable Infrastructure

Spain is moving steadily toward its 2050 net-zero target, backing the transition with new policies, incentives, and regulations that encourage a cleaner, greener economy. Data centers are becoming a key part of this shift. In January 2024, Edged Energy opened its Merlin Edged Barcelona facility, adding more than 16 MW of IT capacity powered entirely by renewable energy. The site uses waterless cooling and connects directly to major global networks, setting a benchmark for sustainable operations. To further support green infrastructure, Microsoft signed several power purchase agreements (PPAs) in June 2024. These agreements allow the company to obtain renewable energy from wind and solar projects in Spain. Six sites will be supported by Repsol, which highlights the industry's commitment to sustainable growth and reliable cloud infrastructure.

Spain Bold Move to Lead in Digital Innovation and Connectivity

Spain is actively advancing its digital transformation through government-led initiatives that strengthen innovation, digital skills, and public sector services across key sectors such as education, cybersecurity, and smart cities. The Digital Spain 2025 strategy aims to boost the digital economy by improving e-government services, expanding 5G networks, achieving 100 Mbps broadband coverage, and increasing mobile digital service usage by over 50% by 2025. Building on this, the Digital Spain 2026 strategy prioritizes nationwide digital connectivity to bridge the divide between urban and rural areas.

Complementing these efforts, Spain's 5G Strategy includes significant public and EU-backed investments to strengthen mobile coverage and support the rollout of next-generation services. Thus, these initiatives are positioning Spain as a digitally advanced, connected, and innovation-driven market, attracting both local and international tech investments.
