The data centre employers' association criticises the preferential treatment given to the Tarragona AI gigafactory
Published
The data centre employers' association has expressed its disagreement with the preferential treatment that, in its view, some technology projects receive in Spain. The most frequently mentioned case is the artificial intelligence (AI) gigafactory planned for Tarragona, a large-scale project related to the development and use of this technology.
The organisation believes that subsidies and administrative facilities should not be concentrated on a single project, but should instead be applied equally to all companies in the sector that meet the same requirements. According to the employers' association, this situation may create differences between companies that want to invest in digital infrastructure in the country.
The debate comes at a time when Spain is trying to attract investment related to artificial intelligence and data centres, which are facilities needed to store information and provide digital services. These infrastructures require large amounts of energy and water, so their installation also generates discussions about resource consumption.
For now, the Government and the administrations involved have not changed their decisions on these projects. The employers' association calls for more transparency and clear rules so that the process is fair for all participants in the market. The matter will remain important for the future of technological investment in the country.
