MADRID, May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Prime, an international hyperscale and wholesale
data center provider, today announced plans to develop a 26,000
square-meter data center in Madrid,
Spain. The company has secured 7.6 acres in Alcobendas with
plan to develop a facility that will be able deliver 40 megawatts
of critical power. Alcobendas is the largest in-country data center
ecosystem with 41 percent of the live, colocation power
consumption. Prime Madrid will be
developed according to customer demand and will address hyperscale
cloud and artificial intelligence power density requirements.
With 44 MW of take-up in 2023 it is clear
that Madrid is poised for strong
data center growth for the foreseeable future
"With forty-four megawatts of take-up in 2023, power challenges
limiting FLAPD markets, and information governance mandating
in-country data center presence, it is clear that Madrid is poised for strong growth over the
foreseeable future," commented Nicholas
Laag, Founder and CEO of Prime Data Centers. "Alcobendas is
an ideal location for Prime's first data center in Madrid with an established ecosystem that
offers easy access to fiber and experienced, skilled labor."
Prime selected Madrid for its
latest expansion on account of the market's strong, hyperscale
demand base which represented an estimated 74% of 2023 take-up
across self-build and colocation data centers. Additionally,
Madrid's central location serves a
large population base while acting as the primary network relay
point for coastal regions and Portugal. Prime Madrid will be located at Calle de la Pedriza
1, Alcobendas in immediate proximity to local Internet
Exchange Points for customer network optimization.
"Having spent the last twenty-five years in Madrid, it is encouraging to see the hard work
and preparation put in by so many local stakeholders result in
readiness to capitalize on the recent surge in demand," said
Michael Wall, Senior Vice President
of Development and Construction for Prime in Europe. "Prime believes this strong foundation
will sustain data center growth in Madrid further validating its place alongside
the most influential digital infrastructure markets in Europe. We are excited to contribute to the
success story."
Prime's three-plus gigawatt roadmap now includes twenty-two
owned and optioned locations in the
United States and Europe as
well as numerous others in active due diligence. Recent
announcements include nearly 500 megawatts across Denmark, Phoenix and Chicago. Prime also projects the opening of
its partially pre-leased Los
Angeles data center in October
2024.
