Overview
- The Generalitat’s executive approved the designation on Tuesday to elevate the Tres Xemeneies project to a 'proyecto estratégico de país' and to prepare a formal request to the State under Real Decreto-ley 7/2026.
- Officials said the main goal is to win priority allocation of electrical connection capacity so the hub can meet high power needs for studios, data centres and immersive tech.
- The project plans roughly 67,000 square metres of commercial space, aims to host about 2,000 high-skilled on‑site professionals and could create an estimated 3,500–5,000 jobs.
- Regional authorities point to the project’s maturity—urban plans advanced, financing in place and a governance model defined—as the reason it qualifies for fast‑track treatment.
- Next steps include final urbanization approvals, land acquisition, submitting the case to the State for investment status, and then building the energy and transport infrastructure needed to attract firms.
