Ireland went from being an emerging market to becoming one of Europe’s largest data center hubs, thanks to favorable policies and an attractive tax framework. However, this rapid expansion strained the power grid, forcing the country to innovate with a regulatory model that limits new connections in saturated areas, prioritizes projects based on their grid impact, and requires flexibility in energy consumption. 

This approach has successfully balanced digital growth with system stability without discouraging investment. Spain is now following a similar path, with more than 2.5 GW projected by 2030 and hubs like Madrid, Aragon, and Barcelona growing at a fast pace. 

Join our webinar to: 

• Learn key lessons from the Irish model: policies, regulatory decisions, and their impact on data center expansion 

• Explore the challenges and opportunities in Spain: potential scenarios amid the rapid growth in Madrid, Aragon, and Barcelona 

• Anticipate and avoid power grid bottlenecks: territorial planning and technical solutions for long-term viable projects 

• Incorporate energy flexibility and smart site selection: essential strategies to ensure grid capacity and competitiveness
