EU Datacenter Intelligence / Updated Daily
Every European Data Center Construction Project. One Database.
Planned, proposed and under construction across the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland. Planning permits, grid connections, contractor bids, MW specs, site locations, and verified developer contacts, from ground-break to power-on.
Coverage intelligence: Europe by region

Data Center Projects by Region
Hover a country for its region's totals.
Countries are shaded by the region the database files them under: Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern Europe. A project tagged with two regions is counted in each, so the regions are never added up. Russia and Belarus are shown for context only. The exact site of every project is in the database.

FAQ
Questions European Teams Ask
What is a European data center project tracker?
A continuously updated database of data center projects across Europe, covering planning, permitting, grid connection, construction and commissioning, so you can find opportunities and verified contacts without doing the research yourself.
Which countries are covered?
The 27 EU member states plus the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland and the rest of geographic Europe. Coverage is deepest in the FLAP-D hubs (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin) and the Nordics, and follows the pipeline into the growth markets of Southern and Eastern Europe.
How many data centers are being built in Europe?
The tracker currently follows 1,315 upcoming data center projects in Europe, 268 of them under construction, with 49.9 GW of planned capacity and $1.69T in announced investment. The figure moves every week as new sites are announced, planning permits are filed and completed facilities go live.
Why does grid capacity matter so much for European projects?
Power is the binding constraint in most European markets. Several hubs have paused or rationed new grid connections for data centers, so the date a project secures its connection often decides when it can be built. The tracker records grid connection status and power agreements alongside the planning stage.
How long does a data center take to develop in Europe?
From site selection to commissioning, a typical European project takes 2 to 5 years, depending on the planning process, environmental assessment and the grid connection queue. Construction itself is rarely the longest step.
How does the free trial work?
Request a trial and get full access to the platform for a limited period, with no credit card required upfront. You can search, filter and export project data to evaluate fit before committing to a plan.
How fast can my team start?
Immediately after your trial or subscription is activated. There is no onboarding delay. Log in, filter to your target countries or stages, and start working the pipeline the same day.
