Digitalization is creating new large consumers of electricity. In Spain, the development of data centers is therefore bringing a fundamental question to the forefront: how can these infrastructures be powered while at the same time increasing renewable energy generation?
A regulatory proposal currently under discussion aims precisely to strengthen this relationship by requiring a significant share of the electricity consumed by new data centers to be supplied by renewable sources. For photovoltaics, this means addressing a new type of demand: high, continuous and expected to grow alongside digital infrastructure.
The expansion of data centers shows how photovoltaics can also play a role in new models of energy consumption. For Peimar, following this evolution means looking beyond traditional applications and contributing its technology to projects where new generation capacity and growing electricity demand will increasingly need to move in the same direction.
