Valencia – Strategic Edge Resilience for the Iberian Peninsula

Valencia serves as the essential secondary hub for the Iberian Peninsula, providing critical geographic diversity and edge performance for Mediterranean trade. It is the premier choice for organizations requiring a resilient failover site to Madrid without sacrificing high-speed connectivity to national backbones.

Valencia: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Carrier count: over 10, as of December 2025. The market is anchored by neutral providers like Nixval and EXA Infrastructure, offering diverse routing for local and international logistics firms requiring low-latency paths across the peninsula.

Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Over 0, enabling access to 0 cloud regions, as of December 2025. While local on-ramps are not currently present, high-capacity transport links provide seamless access to major cloud clusters in Madrid. Private extension options via PNI allow for secure access to global providers.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): Local peering is primarily managed through regional private interconnects or by extending reach to the DE-CIX hub in Madrid. This ensures traffic stays local while maintaining access to a broad European peering community.

Bare Metal: Dedicated hardware configurations are available from specialists like Hivelocity, supporting high-performance workloads at the edge without the overhead of virtualization.

Power Analysis

Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity ranges from $0.11 to $0.15/kWh, as of December 2025. These rates are significantly more attractive than northern European alternatives, providing a predictable cost base for scaling infrastructure and long-term operational planning.

Power Grid Reliability: The local grid is well-engineered with redundant substations serving key industrial zones like Paterna. This redundancy provides the resilient power delivery required for mission-critical colocation and high-density hardware.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Proximity To Key Business Districts: Facilities are strategically placed near the Paterna Technology Park and the Port of Valencia. This ensures the region's logistics and technology sectors maintain the speed required for real-time data processing and maritime trade management.

Regional Market Reach: Valencia is the primary digital gateway for the Mediterranean coast. It offers a secure, high-performance environment for firms serving eastern Spain and secondary deployments requiring geographic separation from Madrid.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Standard Spanish tax structures apply without specific local incentives for the sector. The general business climate supports stable long-term investment, while lower operational costs compared to major European hubs provide a natural financial benefit for scaling digital infrastructure.

Natural Disaster Risk

Low (2.6/10), as of December 2025. Valencia is one of the safest infrastructure markets in the region, characterized by its minimal exposure to major geophysical threats.

• River Flood (6.4): The primary concern for the metro area, effectively managed through site selection in elevated industrial corridors.
• Coastal Flood (4.9): Considered an indirect regional risk for facilities located several miles inland in the Paterna area.
• Tsunami (4.6): A regional risk factor that is non-material for most inland data center locations.
• Drought (4.4): Managed through water-efficient cooling designs that minimize the impact on local resources.
• Earthquake (2.9): Seismic activity is low, ensuring the structural integrity of specialized facilities.
