Red Eléctrica, a company that manages high-voltage power lines in Spain, has reported that data centers now account for 34.2% of new granted access capacity in the country's electric transport network, totaling 6,328 megawatts. However, none of these data centers have started operating yet. According to Red Eléctrica's map of connection demand requests, a total of 18.52 gigawatts of access has been granted, with 11.05 gigawatts corresponding to installations that have not yet begun operating.
Data centers are followed by industrial supplies and railway infrastructures in terms of allocated power.
