Which country has the most data center sites?
Germany, with 43 of the 229 sites tracked (19%). Next: France (38), United Kingdom (23), Netherlands (19), Spain (16). Coverage: counts are sites tracked, not a census; countries that rank lower are in the workspace.
Are data center sites concentrated in a few countries?
The three countries with the most sites, Germany, France, United Kingdom, hold 104 of the 229 sites tracked (45%). Coverage: this is the spread of the sites we track, which may differ from the spread of all data center sites in Europe.
Who has the most data center sites in Europe?
By sites tracked: Equinix (63), Digital Realty (42), Microsoft (11), Google (8), Vantage Data Centers (7). This ranks by sites tracked, not by power capacity, so a ranking by capacity or area can put the same names in a different order.

How much power capacity do these sites hold?
Operating: 6.5 GW. Planned or under construction: 12.1 GW. Operating means a site that is open; planned means announced, planned or under construction. The two are different statuses and are never added together. Coverage: power capacity is reported for 136 of 229 sites; a site with no reported figure adds nothing.
How much power capacity is in Germany?
In Germany, power capacity is 632 MW operating and 812 MW planned or under construction. The split by site is as of 20 October 2026. Coverage: reported for 20 of 43 sites in Germany; the rest add nothing.
