Announced
Spain · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Planned Microsoft datacenter campus at the Centrovía industrial estate in La Muela, west of Zaragoza, the largest by area and investment of the three campuses in Microsoft's Aragón plan. The site was declared of general interest in late 2023. The regional plan (PIGA Región MSFT), given initial approval in November 2025, assigns it 146 hectares and about EUR 2.18 billion, with 50 MW secured for a first phase and up to 300 MW sought later through a new substation. The plan still lacked final approval in August 2026, and a modified version went out for public comment in July 2026. Forbes reported first operation was expected from 2030.
Source record as of 2026-09-04 · Details and sources
Orden VFL/1410/2026 of 28 September 2026, published in the Boletín Oficial de Aragón on 2 October 2026, modifies the initial approval of the PIGA "Implantación de la Región Microsoft en Aragón" promoted by Microsoft 7724 Spain, SL to include and initially approve the corrected environmental impact study of the urbanisation project of the La Muela campus (phase 5 of the Centrovía estate), and resubmits it to public information with a hearing for the La Muela town council. This dated government record keeps the campus announced; the plan is still at initial approval, and no licence or works are established. evidence

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
