The Aragonese company Forestalia will invest 12.048 billion euros in the construction and commissioning of three data centers in the province of Zaragoza: Magallon, Botolita and Alfamen. Work on the “Buffalo Project” is expected to begin around 2028. … The announcement has already been reported in regional newspapers and the relevant permits have already been obtained following the approval of the Declaration of General Interests of Aragon (DIGA) for this initiative.
It is estimated that a total of approximately 30,000 temporary jobs will be created during the construction phase, which will last approximately eight years starting in 2028, and approximately 30,000 temporary jobs will be created during the operation phase. 3,000 Adding three data centers (more highly qualified) jobs (825 people in the Magalong infrastructure, another 825 people in the Botolita infrastructure, and 1,350 jobs in the Alphamen data center).
President Aragon is Jorge AzconHaving just returned from a trip to the United States where he learned more about the operations of these data centers, he highlighted the significant local investment capabilities that municipalities in these three regions receive from their Economic Activity Tax (IAE) and Real Estate Tax (IBI) taxes.
With this announcement, Ascon was once again reminded of what Aragon said. Already attracted a total investment of 70 billion euros In his words, this figure will have a “huge impact on the region in terms of fiscal spending, job creation, and attracting talent and population.” “Spain and other autonomous communities in southern Europe have not announced projects towards this value. Aragon is becoming Spain’s leader and economic engine, and ultimately One of the autonomous communities that tows cars And it contributes to the common fund,” he said at a press conference this morning.
buffalo project «It has the distinction of having the capital of Aragon And it will be the second largest investment in terms of investment,” the popular baron emphasized.
Three data centers will be built for more information on the Regional Interest Declaration. Magalong’s “DCM Data” represents an investment of 3.307 billion euros. Botolyta’s “DCM Dédalo” has a worldwide spend of 3.323 billion. And Alphamen’s “DCM Blue” is expected to raise 5.417 billion euros.
thousand megawatts
When it comes to the energy that powers these data centers; self-consumption The proportion of companies claiming to be “pioneers of the new green economy” reaches 50%, which is quite remarkable. Each project has a formal contract with a renewable energy generation facility and has also obtained the corresponding access and connection permit from Red Electrica de España. That means the new data center will have a closed cooling circuit, solar power generation facilities will be built in other parts of the state, and renewable energy will be provided by Red Electrica’s “plug.” The Aragon company’s plans total 1,000 megawatts.
Specifically, the Magalong project has obtained a demand permit for the generation location of the “Magalong 220 kv” substation. Those in Botryta have access to the “Maria 220 kv” junction. And the Alphamen project has permission to access the “Los Vientos 220kv” substation.
