Yesterday, together with the President of the Government of Arag\u00f3n, Jorge Azc\u00f3n, we presented what will become the world\u2019s largest renewable self-consumption project for data centers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Government of Arag\u00f3n approved the Declaration of Investment of Regional Interest with General Interest for Arag\u00f3n (DIGA)<\/strong> for our Zaragoza-WIND<\/strong> project in Botorrita, Zaragoza.<\/p>\n

This marks a new milestone for our MERLIN Edged<\/strong><\/a> platform and will help position Arag\u00f3n as one of the leading data center development hubs in Southern Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2705 More than 156,000 sqm of built area and 144 MW of IT capacity<\/strong>, the largest capacity promoted by MERLIN in Spain.<\/p>\n

\u2705 Around 5,000 jobs<\/strong> during construction, followed by more than 500 highly skilled permanent jobs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2705 Developed around the principles of Zero Water, Zero Carbon and Big Data<\/strong>, with the ambition of becoming a global benchmark for sustainable digital infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2705 Up to 87% renewable self-consumption<\/strong>, enabled by a pioneering combination of wind and solar power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Zaragoza-WIND<\/strong> is another step forward in our data center growth strategy, with operations expected to begin in 2029<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
