- Ranked by sites tracked, not by power capacity. A site counts once, under the name its source gives. Another ranking may use capacity or area and order the same names differently.
- Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. The two are shown in separate columns and are never added together.
- Counts are sites recorded, not a census of the data center market in Europe, and they grow as coverage grows. Power capacity is reported for only some sites, so a blank means not reported, not zero.

How this data is built
Real Assets reads company pages, filings, news and listings, and records figures with a link to the page that published them.
Counts are sites Real Assets has recorded, not a full census, and grow as coverage grows. Sites are listed with the operator as published (the owner for industrial parks). Data updated 20 October 2026.
Questions
How are Europe data center countries ranked?
By sites tracked: the number of data center sites Real Assets has recorded in each country. It is not a ranking by power capacity. Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. They are shown in separate columns and never added together.
Does this list cover every country in Europe?
No. It shows the 15 countries with the most sites tracked. Counts are sites Real Assets has recorded, not a census of the data center market in Europe. Power capacity is reported for some sites only: the last column says for how many, and a blank means not reported, not zero.
What do operating and planned mean?
Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. They are shown in separate columns and never added together.
