Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Madrid

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Digital Realty leads with four locations, followed by Asociación ESpanix, Equinix, Aire Networks del Mediterraneo, and AtlasEdge with three, three, two, and two facilities respectively. The market reflects consolidation among tier-one operators, with no single entity dominating a particularly large share of the modest regional footprint.

This scoring suggests that obtaining new power connections—whether through grid expansion or alternative supply arrangements—will face material headwinds.

Deal activity centers on capacity expansion rather than ownership transfers. Nabiax announced a €870 million investment commitment targeting growth from 35 MW to 140 MW across its Madrid campus, signaling confidence in long-term operations despite grid limitations. Separately, Global Switch has begun construction on a second Madrid facility projected to add 56 MW. These projects suggest operators are pursuing organic growth strategies within existing footprints rather than competing for new greenfield entitlements. The concentration of activity among established regional players indicates that entry barriers—likely including power procurement complexity—remain high for new market participants.

Pending power availability improvements or grid upgrades, expansion projects already in motion will continue absorbing available supply-side flexibility in Madrid.
