en.Wedoany.com Reported - The town of Mora, in the province of Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, will invest €3 billion (approximately $3.4 billion) to build a 300 MW large-scale data center, a project developed in collaboration between EdgeMode and the local city council.
EdgeMode has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Mora City Council, valid for 24 months, to develop the data center named DC Malpica. Once completed, the project will support artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and cloud services, with financing and permits still pending. The Mora City Council stated it will provide institutional support, coordinate administrative departments, and assist in designating the site as a project of strategic interest. EdgeMode plans to help position Mora as a key hub for AI infrastructure in Spain.
The data center will adopt a solid oxide fuel cell microgrid solution. EdgeMode stated that this energy solution can cover its network in Spain, enable scalable deployment as the company's needs expand, and deliver AI data center capacity more quickly. This collaboration aligns with a partnership the company reached earlier this year with an undisclosed supplier.
EdgeMode CEO Charlie Faulkner stated that the agreement is a key milestone in collaborating with the town of Mora, one of the best locations for data center capacity in Europe, by establishing an institutional framework that can efficiently advance the development process without sacrificing environmental standards, while ensuring DC Malpica brings lasting economic value, high-quality jobs, and technological progress to the local community. Mora Mayor Emilio Bravo Peña stated that through this data center project, Mora will not only become a leading town in Spain but also in Europe, and believes the magnet effect will attract businesses from other industries to settle there.
DC Malpica will be located near Madrid, which, along with Barcelona, has become a hub for AI and digital infrastructure. EdgeMode plans to establish eight sites in Spain with a total planned capacity exceeding 4.35 GW and intends to open Tier-3 ready AI campuses in the country. According to Arizton Intelligence data, the Spanish data center market was valued at $3.3 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to $8.83 billion by 2031, with data centers expanding outward from major cities. This memorandum of understanding between EdgeMode and the Mora City Council aims to help meet Spain's growing demand for digital infrastructure.
