Data center construction is forbidden in Lleida. They just don't
contribute to the local economy (that is the explanation).

There is also land concern.

"State and local resistance to datacenters is rising sharply, with $98
billion in projects blocked or delayed from late March to June as
communities push back over energy use, higher electricity bills, and land
concerns. A study by Data Center Watch shows opposition groups in 17 states
successfully delaying most projects they protest, prompting lawmakers to
tighten rules, reconsider subsidies, and question whether data centers
deliver enough local economic benefit to outweigh their growing community
and infrastructure impacts."
