Hscale: MAD1

MAD1 is published by hscale as its Madrid hyperscale data centre campus, described as being southwest of Madrid and strategically located close to existing availability zones, with a stated target RFS in Q3 2028.

hscale publishes campus-level design and delivery details for MAD1 (buildings, phased data hall delivery, targeted PUE, electrical/cooling topology, and renewable-energy positioning), but it does not publish a street address for the MAD1 campus.
