A Spanish energy firm is looking to develop a data center in Extremadura.

Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), a subsidiary of Jameel Energy, recently announced the Lusitanus project, a data center campus focused on artificial intelligence in the ExpacioMérida park.

The company plans a total investment of €2.8 billion ($3.2bn) : €2.1 billion in digital infrastructure and €700 million in renewable energy generation.

The initiative, which already has a land reservation contract for 240,000 sqm, will reportedly be powered by more than 80 percent renewable self-generation.

Full details of the development haven’t been shared.

Mérida is a city and municipality of Spain, part of the Province of Badajoz, and capital of the autonomous community of Extremadura.

FRV is an energy firm that develops wind, solar, and battery storage projects. To date, the firm has close to 3GW of capacity in operation and another 1GW in development. Across Spain, the company has projects in Extremadura, Andalusia, Catalonia, and Cantabria.

FRV is owned by Jameel Energy, part of the Saudi investment firm Abdul Latif Jameel. Abdul Latif Jameel acquired FRV in 2015.
