DC Estate S.L. has submitted a proposal to the Castilla-La Mancha government for a data center comprising two buildings with a total capacity of 300 megawatts, located on over 100 hectares of rustic land. The preliminary environmental impact study presented by the company does not adequately address water consumption or environmental impacts, despite the project's location in an ecological corridor.
Local group Pueblos Vivos del Segura calls the project 'speculative' and unfeasible, citing concerns over water supply, air pollution, and potential social division. Additional projects in the region include data centers from Meta and another planned by Solaria in Cifuentes, raising further environmental and infrastructural concerns.
