Quick answer

Along the A-2 Henares corridor, reported industrial land prices in mid-2026 were about €500/m² in Coslada, €400–450 in San Fernando de Henares, about €300 in Torrejón de Ardoz and €225–250 in Alcalá de Henares. Prices have risen 25–40% since the pandemic, with data centers and logistics competing for scarce plots.

Land is the small part of the cost

At €300–500/m² and roughly 550–770 m² per MW, land works out at about €165,000–385,000 per MW before power. A secured connection is what multiplies the value: compare the €11 million paid for a 25 MW site in Meco.

Power is the constraint in Madrid

In the CNMC’s August 2026 data, 95 of Madrid’s 587 distribution nodes publish any demand capacity and only 9 offer 20 MW or more; no Red Eléctrica transmission node in the province shows demand capacity. See Madrid grid capacity.

Questions

Is cheaper land further out better?

Only if the power is there. A cheap plot without capacity at a nearby node is industrial land, not a data center site.
