Ministro de Transformación Digital, �scar López, is convinced that Spain will soon host one of Europe's major AI gigafactories. During his participation in the 40th Digital Economy and Telecommunications Meeting, organized by the business association Ametic, López stated that Spain aims to have one of these leading infrastructure installations for advanced AI development and training.
The European Commission has approved the consortium behind this gigafactory, which has two planned sites: San Fernando de Henares in Madrid and Mira de Nova in Tarragona. The estimated investment for this project is around 5 billion euros. The Spanish government has already allocated 720 million euros through the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT) to support this initiative.
The European call for the project closes on November 12th, with an expected award in early 2027. López emphasized the importance of a human-centric AI that can modernize public services, boost private competitiveness, ensure security, and protect citizens' rights. The new decree regulating the sustainability, environmental, and resilience requirements of data centers in Spain aims to promote high-quality, sustainable, and sovereign data centers.
