MADRID and NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 - MERLIN Properties and Edged announce the groundbreaking for the new Edged Bilbao-Arasur hyperscale data center in Northern Spain. This site is located at Southern Europe's fiber crossroads, on the highest capacity submarine cable in the world. It includes up to 100 MW of ultra-efficient, carbon neutral IT capacity with a guaranteed PUE of 1.15. The first anchor tenant contracts have already been signed for scheduled deployment in Q2 2023.
The project features long-term battery energy storage systems, zero water cooling and is adjacent to a large solar PV farm. This is the first of four major data centers that MERLIN Properties and Edged are developing on the Iberian Peninsula — including sites in Madrid-Getafe, Barcelona and Lisbon.
