PSI scope / Zarza Networks Meta (primary CLM)
Castilla-La Mancha's PSI executive summary for Meta Data Center Campus (promoted by Zarza Networks, S.L., with Meta as sole shareholder) describes a ~191 ha gross scope at Torrehierro Fase 2 in Talavera de la Reina, of which ~175.74 ha is unconsolidated industrial urban land. The Consejo de Gobierno definitive PSI approval is dated 14 Oct 2024 (DOCM no. 205, 22 Oct 2024) (CLM urbanismo PSI resumen)
Private DC parcel / building program (primary CLM)
The PSI resumen states the Data Center Campus develops inside a discontinuous private parcel of 102 ha with total buildability of 130,000 m2 and a set of permanent buildings totaling 72,705 m2, centered on two data-center buildings plus administrative (ADM), infrastructure business operations support (IBOS), and security gatehouse (GH) buildings. An on-campus HV substation is described as connecting to Redeia's Calera y Chozas substation (CLM urbanismo PSI resumen)
Investment / construction timeline (primary CLM)
The PSI resumen estimates total investment for the PSI at around 750 million euros, of which 685 million euros for data-center construction, with construction/edification within a maximum of 10 years from start and the promoter to begin works within 12 months after all administrative processes and approvals are complete (CLM urbanismo PSI resumen)
Dry-air cooling / LEED / 100% renewable commitments (primary CLM)
The PSI resumen says the campus is designed around dry-air cooling claimed to cut annual water needs by about 80% versus prior design, commits to LEED certification, states Meta data centers and offices are Net-Zero supported by 100% renewable energy (with a commitment to support renewable generation equal to 100% of campus consumption), and commits to restore more water than the facility consumes via hydrological restoration projects (CLM urbanismo PSI resumen)
Reparcelation / building-license path (reported Aug-Sep 2026)
Cadena SER reports that after Fomento's definitive reparcelation approval (resolution 7 Aug 2026, DOCM 21 Aug 2026), Zarza Networks constituted the municipal urban-use monetization guarantee on 2 Sep 2026, which regional officials frame as clearing the path toward municipal building licenses. ABC similarly reports the definitive reparcelation authorization lets Meta present construction projects and seek Ayuntamiento de Talavera licenses, restating the ~750M euro investment figure (and noting some officials say it could exceed 1,000M depending on final buildout; treat that higher figure as reported, not PSI text) (Cadena SER, Sep 5 2026; ABC, Aug 25 2026)
