Spain relaxed its proposed data-center decree on Monday afternoon, lifting the regulatory capacity threshold from 1 megawatt to 10 megawatts. The move follows a surge of artificial intelligence infrastructure project announcements across the country. The policy shift gives developers more operational flexibility as foreign investments scale into tens of billions of euros.
