MERLIN Edged Bilbao-Arasur Campus

Supermanzana 6, Plataforma Logística Arasur, Avenida Ribera Baja s/n, 01213. BIO-ARA buildings and repowering are a single campus.

Exact street/industrial park identity confirmed; legal title not inspected.

For the three building scope, the decision estimates 1,150 m³ per year of municipal water for sanitary and fire system uses once all three operate, and describes dry cooling. This is authorization scope design consumption, not measured use, zero total water use or a full masterplan forecast.

The environmental decision signed October 16, 2025 formulates the environmental impact declaration for regulatory Building 1 and modifies the integrated environmental authorization held by Merlín Logística, S.L.U. for Arasur. The three building design totals about 190 MW electrical power: Building 3 has 22 MW critical plus 8 MW general services, Building 2 has 48 MW critical plus 22 MW non critical, and Building 1 has 60 MW critical plus 30 MW non critical. These are regulatory design quantities, not operating load or the later 280 MW IT masterplan; regulatory labels are not verified commercial building identifiers.

Ribera Baja council approved the second amendment to the supermanzana 6 first phase detail plan on January 26, 2026, published February 4. The notice names Merlín Properties SA as promoter and Lks Krean as author. Detail plan approval does not establish land title, building completion or commissioning.

In its February 26, 2026 results announcement, MERLIN reported that the third Basque 48 MW building had obtained its construction licence and begun works in December 2025. That dated operator account remains unreconciled with the later description of an early-2026 start, and its regulatory building number has not been established.
