Over 70 professionals gathered for this highly relevant event that explored critical topics shaping the present and future of data centers: resource management, legal regulation, specialized training, and new development models.
September 30, 2025, ProExergy attended the professional breakfast "Data Center Construction: Projects and Trends," organized by Grupo Vía at Vincci Zaragoza Zentro.
The event highlighted Aragón's emergence as a data center powerhouse, with installed capacity growing from 108 MW to a projected 1,800 MW with hyperscale projects from Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, representing an economic impact of €25 billion over the next decade.
Rafael De Miguel González (ZLC)
Analyzed Aragón's geopolitical advantages, strategic location, renewable energy access, and streamlined PIGA administrative process that reduces project timelines by half.
Sergio Marta Villagrasa (INGENNUS)
Shared insights on working across 19 countries, integration in large teams, prefabrication trends, and challenges including energy access and specialized personnel shortages.
Vicens García Carvajal (JG Ingenieros)
Discussed how data centers now represent 35-40% of company revenue, growing demand (25% annually), and Spain's competitive advantages over saturated FLAP markets.
Xavier Vilamajó (IDP)
Addressed cooling challenges with increasing rack densities (40-80 KW), liquid cooling solutions, district heating integration, and BIM methodology for operational excellence.
Alejandro Mariñelarena (IDOM)
Examined critical energy availability issues (80% saturation nationally, 94% in Aragón), off-grid energy solutions, and the sector's projected 4% of global electricity consumption by 2030.
Moisés Sancho (EIGO)
Emphasized collaborative work, BIM to 7D, and the urgent need to train 15,000-20,000 professionals to meet sector demand through inclusive education programs.
