Soaring demand for digital services continues to fuel the booming European data centre construction market. Though this is clearly positive news, outside factors may affect the industry’s expansion. Namely, Europe’s under-strain power infrastructure presents continent-wide capacity issues, resulting in long waiting times for grid connections regardless of end-user demand levels

Efforts are being made to overcome these obstacles and ensure the sector’s power needs are met going forward across the continent. For instance, the European Commission’s RePowerEU initiative is accelerating the European Union’s transition to green energy sources.

In this whitepaper, we analyze the sector’s current situation and what steps facility stakeholders can take to sustainably mitigate power capacity issues and overcome grid connection bottlenecks.
