How much data center capacity Netherlands has installed, how it compares with the rest of Europe, and what our trackers show about its sites, operators, deals and rules.
Netherlands data center capacity at a glance
Netherlands had about 1.5 GW of installed data center capacity (IT load) at the end of 2025, by our estimate. That is about 9% of the capacity in Europe and puts Netherlands at number 8 of the 26 countries in our global model. Our Data Center Tracker holds 100 sites in Netherlands run by 30 operators: 89 operational, 6 under construction and 5 planned. Our trackers also hold 4 verified deals and 7 government measures in force for the country.
Installed capacity is IT load, the power available to servers, storage and network. The country figure comes from the same model as the global and regional totals and is benchmarked against dated public figures. Site figures below are what each source states, often a campus’s full build-out, so they are not the same measure.
