Spanish electricity supplier Serosense has acquired land in Catalonia for a planned data center.

The company announced this week that it has finalized the purchase of several plots of land in Alcarràs (Lleida) with the aim of developing a data center.

The project will be located near the N-II highway, in a site that is also well-connected to the A-2 and just a few kilometers from the city of Lleida.

The energy company – part of the Visalia Group – is taking its first steps into the data center sector, with the project one of the first data centers in the area.

The development would include a facility totaling approximately 12,000 square meters, with an initial estimated capacity of 10MW, expandable up to 30MW.

The land is located in the irrigable area of the Pinyana Canal, offering access to the water resources needed for cooling.

It would be several years before any data center is likely to launch at the site. The acquired land is classified as Delimited Industrial Urban Land (SUDI), which requires the development of a partial plan, as well as urbanization and land readjustment projects. Additionally, a specific amendment to the municipal urban planning (POUM) will be required before proceeding with the project’s implementation.

The Alcarràs City Council has shown its support for the project since its earliest stages, emphasizing the data center’s potential as a driver of economic diversification.

A number of Spanish energy firms, including FRV, Solaria, and Nostrum, have recently expanded into data center development.
