en.Wedoany.com Reported - US company EdgeMode plans to develop the DC Malpica project in the town of Mora, Toledo Province, Spain. This is a high-power data center campus designed for AI workloads, with a total computing capacity of 300 megawatts, conceived as an off-grid microgrid capable of operating completely independently from the power grid.

The technology partner for the campus is US company Bloom Energy, whose core equipment is the Bloom Energy Server based on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. The project includes two processing buildings, each equipped with 150 megawatts of IT capacity, designed to operate through continuous local power generation and integrated backup systems.

The planned photovoltaic installation capacity is 60 megawatts peak (MWp), divided into two 30 MWp blocks, installed on the main building rooftops. Each building has 150,000 square meters of usable area, totaling 300,000 square meters of solar collection area, without occupying additional agricultural land. Solar power will be directly fed into the campus microgrid and coordinated with base-load power generation systems to compensate for radiation variability.

Continuous power supply is handled by the Bloom Energy Server, which operates on biogas to reduce operational emissions. The cooling system adopts a dry solution based on air-assisted closed-loop and direct chip liquid cooling, eliminating cooling water usage to alleviate local water resource pressure and adapt to the water-stressed environment of the Castilla-La Mancha region.

The total project investment is approximately 3 billion euros, and it has not yet been formally submitted to the autonomous government of Castilla-La Mancha.
