NxN Begins Construction of First Valencia Data Center at Vara de Quart

The project targets a first-half 2027 opening with a €60 million build.

Overview

  • NxN held a stone-laying ceremony to start works on the 6,500-square-meter site, billed as the first facility in a planned SpainPortugal network.
  • The Valencia data center is slated for an initial 5 MW of capacity, after a larger port-site option was dropped during planning.
  • The company says the design targets BREEAM Excellent standards with zero water consumption and exclusive use of 100% renewable energy.
  • Hybrid cooling is planned to support air, liquid and immersion systems for high-density workloads, including AI and supercomputing projects.
  • NxN and local officials project up to 100 direct jobs and about 500 indirect roles, while opposition figures and neighborhood groups criticize the ceremony and seek environmental safeguards.
