2.4 TWhdata-centre electricity · 0.8% of national generation · grade B, Derived

Spain's data centres draw 2.4 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 16th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.

That is 0.8% of everything the country generates — below the 1.2% median across those countries.

Set against 0.7 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 38% load factor.

One metro is tracked here: Madrid, at 450 MW and under construction.

450 MW of that is not yet operating: it is under construction or still an announcement.

Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Power & Grid on the ownership basis, at #11 of 17.

It does not register at all on Memory & Storage or Networking.

2 suppliers are domiciled here, booking roughly $16bn between them; the largest is Iberdrola.

About $6bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Spain, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.

Where Spain ranks

The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.

Revenue is the group or segment figure closest to each tier's perimeter. Segment boundaries differ between issuers, so treat the split as indicative.
