EdgeMode has officially entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City Council of Mora to formalise institutional cooperation for the development of ‘DC Malpica’, a planned 300 MW IT large-scale data centre campus located in Toledo, Spain.
The agreement establishes a cooperative framework to ensure the orderly and efficient development of one of Europe’s most high-potential data centre sites, which is designed to support Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud services.
“With this data centre project, we will be a leading town not just in Spain, but in Europe,” said Mayor Emilio Bravo Peña. “Furthermore, I am sure that the magnet effect will work and companies from other sectors, some of which are necessary for this project, will also come to Mora.”
The City of Mora has pledged significant investment in technology around the Malpica site, with a commitment to invest €3 billion in the project with several technology companies.
Earlier this year, EdgeMode announced a major collaboration with a provider to deploy solid oxide fuel cell microgrid solutions to power the site. The Malpica site is located close to Madrid, one of Europe’s leading AI and digital infrastructure hubs, and is part of EdgeMode’s eight-site Spanish portfolio, totalling over 4.35GW of planned capacity.
“This agreement marks a critical milestone in the development of one of Europe’s prime locations for data centre capacity and our collaboration with the City of Mora,” said Charlie Faulkner, CEO of EdgeMode. “By establishing this institutional framework, we can navigate the development process efficiently while ensuring that DC Malpica delivers lasting economic value, high-quality employment and technological advancement to the local community without compromising on environmental standards.”
