Key investment in cloud infrastructure, marking a strategic shift towards the digital sector.
Spanish oil company Repsol plans to invest 4 billion euros ($4.2 billion) in building data centres near Zaragoza, according to a report by Expansion newspaper. The planned investment marks Repsol’s significant move into the tech sector, aiming to capitalise on the growing demand for cloud computing infrastructure.
Zaragoza is becoming a key hub for cloud services, with major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft already making large investments in the region. Repsol’s project will contribute to the area’s growing reputation as a leading destination for data centre development.
The company has not yet commented on the report, and details on the project’s timeline remain unclear. This move signals a shift for Repsol as it expands beyond its core oil business into digital services.
