AI UPDATE

AI Demand Spurs Growth in Modular Data Center Solutions by Schneider Electric

AI is fueling an extraordinary surge in processing demands, driving the creation of new data centers and the rapid expansion of existing ones.

To meet this demand, Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital automation, has significantly expanded the capacity of its Barcelona prefabricated data center factory—its largest facility in Europe.

The factory's footprint has grown from 75,000 square feet to 130,000 square feet, enabling Schneider to address increasing customer needs for high-compute, prefabricated data centers. This expansion doubles the production, integration, testing, and output capabilities of both modular data centers and prefabricated power modules.

At this facility, located in Barcelona’s Saint Boi de Llobregat area, Schneider designs, builds, and tests its scalable ExoStruxure modular data centers, ensuring efficiency and quality at every stage.

Industry analysis from Omdia projects global sales of prefabricated modular data center systems will hit $8.6 billion by 2027, while PWC Global forecasts AI’s economic contribution could reach $15.7 trillion by 2030.

“Prefabricated modular data centers represent one of the most sustainable and efficient solutions for deploying high-performance data centers at speed and scale,” said Marc Garner, Schneider’s Senior Vice President of Secure Power and Data Center Business. “By scaling production in Barcelona, we strengthen our supply chain during unprecedented growth, ensuring fast, reliable, and high-quality solutions for our European customers in as little as 24 weeks.”

Further emphasizing its commitment, Schneider recently signed a $3 billion multi-year agreement with Compass Datacenters to integrate supply chains and manufacture prefabricated modular data centers at scale.
