El CEO de Iberdrola España, Mario Ruiz-Tagle, dice que "demonizar" los 'data center' no tiene sentido. Leer
The CEOs of Iberdrola España, Mario Ruiz-Tagle, and Telefónica, Emilio Gayo, have criticized the Spanish government's draft decree on data centers, warning that the requirements are unachievable and may lead to a massive exodus of projects to other countries. Spain DC estimates that up to 90% of projects, worth around €70,000 million in investment by 2026, may be lost.
Ruiz-Tagle and Gayo argue that data centers will be built and operated anyway, and that Spain should attract this investment to create jobs, growth, and improve the economy. They also warn of the risk of losing sovereignty over data management if these centers are located abroad.
