Oxigen Data Center has doubled its operating capacity to 20MW after bringing into production a 10MW data center outside Barcelona, acquired from Banco Sabadell.

The facility is located in Sant Fruitós de Bages, a municipality in the comarca of Bages in Catalonia, north of Barcelona. Full details of the facility and terms of the deal were not shared.

The commissioning, which will be completed in the first half of the year, allows the Sant Cugat del Vallès-based company to consolidate its offering for corporate and institutional customers in regulated sectors.

Its existing Tier III facility, outside Barcelona in Sant Cugat del Vallès, was previously operated by CaixaBank. Relaunched in 2023, the site totals 6,000 sqm (64,580 sq ft), including 2,500 sqm (26,910 sq ft) of white space.

The company’s expansion strategy aims to exceed 40MW of capacity by the end of 2026 with an investment of €50 million ($59m).

Oxigen expects to double sales by 2026 and grow 100 percent in three years, combining acquisitions with improvements in efficiency and sustainability. Strategically located 10 miles (16.1km) from downtown Barcelona and 14 miles (23km) from the Cable Landing Station, the firm is evaluating further operations to strengthen technological sovereignty in a booming market.

Banc Sabadell is thus outsourcing part of its cloud transformation, optimizing resilience and costs. With its proximity to the airport and Mediterranean submarine cables, Oxigen is positioning itself as a key local operator in critical infrastructure, meeting the demand for proximity and security.

Banc Sabadell previously operated a data center in Sant Cugat del Vallès, recently migrating to a facility in Madrid, according to online case studies.

The bank sold an office and data center property in the Alcobendas area of Madrid to an unnamed data center operator in 2024.
