The AI boom has a problem. Europe's biggest data center hubs are running out of power.
0:05
Data centers used to mainly be built where the population and the industry are in Europe,
0:11
and that means in the center of the heart of Europe, the so-called FLAP-D, Frankfurt,
0:16
London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin. They go to where electricity is available.
0:23
And in many places like the UK, the grid capacity is really full.
0:27
This is pushing data centers to the edges of Europe.
0:30
Now data centers are migrating to the edges, on the one hand, to the Iberian Peninsula,
0:35
there's lots of renewable, cheap energy there, and then the very other extreme of Europe,
0:41
the Nordics, also cool air, lots of renewables, wind, hydro and great quality grid as well.
0:47
The AI boom is making this even more urgent. McKinsey estimates data centers will need
0:52
$6.7 trillion in investment by 2030 to keep pace with compute demand.
0:58
There's an absolute appetite for secondary and even tertiary markets. Access to the
1:02
electrical equipment has come up as the number two biggest concern for large data center operators.
1:08
But there's another issue, control.
1:10
A lot of the data center construction is basically foreign direct investment. So,
1:16
it's large multinational companies investing in the Nordics and as they do that their
1:22
political weight also increases.
1:25
Even if it's physically located here, a lot of the times in terms of ownership and investment,
1:32
and in terms of technology, it's still very much reliant on the U.S. in particular.
1:38
Europe's data center shift isn't just about cheaper power. It's also about who owns,
1:43
funds, and controls the infrastructure behind the AI boom.
