DATA CENTERS ON FIRE – Episode 9
Risk, Energy and the Spanish Market
Part 1 of 3
Madrid is becoming one of Southern Europe’s key data centre hubs — but rapid growth comes with real risks.
In this episode, hosted by Miguel Martínez (CCO, VID Firekill), with Carlos Mor (Risk Engineer, FM Global), Chris Ezennaya (Data Centre Consultant & Developer) and Nacho Pindado (Data Centre Business Development Manager, Riello UPS), we explore the current state of the Spanish market: AI-driven densification, real infrastructure and power limits, risk management from an insurer’s perspective, and the lithium vs lead battery debate.
From campuses of hundreds of megawatts transforming the country, to the question of who assumes the risk when technology moves faster than our ability to understand it, this conversation addresses what is changing, and what still needs to.
Because in a market that never slows down, the greatest risk isn’t always the technology, it’s the pace at which we’re deploying it.
This is the first of three episodes in this chapter, recorded live in Madrid.

Madrid se está convirtiendo en uno de los principales hubs del sur de Europa para los centros de datos. Pero crecer rápido tiene sus riesgos.
En este episodio, presentado por Miguel Martínez (CCO, VID Firekill), con Carlos Mor (Ingeniero de Riesgos, FM Global), Chris Ezennaya (Consultor y Desarrollador de Data Centers) y Nacho Pindado (Responsable de Desarrollo de Negocio Datacenter, Riello UPS), exploramos el momento actual del mercado español: la densificación impulsada por la IA, los límites reales de infraestructura y potencia, la gestión del riesgo desde el punto de vista asegurador, y el debate sobre la tecnología de baterías.
Porque en un mercado que no frena, el mayor riesgo no siempre es la tecnología, es la velocidad a la que la estamos desplegando.
