Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra
A new model for energy-secure, large-scale data centre development
Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra is a strategic joint venture between Echelon Data Centres and Iberdrola, Europe’s largest utility.
Under the JV agreement, Echelon will be responsible for planning, design, commercialisation, and day-to-day operations, while Iberdrola will secure strategically located sites with robust grid access and ensure a continuous 24/7 supply of clean energy.
Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra introduces a new model for scale data centre development that directly addresses the three biggest constraints in the sector: land, grid power availability and speed of delivery.
Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra will develop large-scale data centre capacity for hyperscale and AI technology companies.
