The Nordic region is attracting an increasing level of significant investments in new datacenters. This is not a coincidence as the Nordics scores comparatively higher on factors such as reliable power supply, 低能源价格, 政治稳定, 更快的上市时间, and abundance of energy and other resources compared to more traditional 欧洲an datacenter regions. 这些都是数据中心投资者认为最重要的因素.
Against the background of a growing global demand for data generation and communication, 北欧地区吸引了大量的数据中心投资. 例如, 在谷歌和脸谱网分别于2009年和2011年进入该地区之后, the Nordic countries have become a preferred site location by an increasing number of datacenter investors.
The figure above illustrates the 2018 development in the Nordic countries. It presents the locations of significant datacenter investment which are already operational, 在建设中, 在规划, 或者在土地被征用用于潜在规划的地方. 它不应该被看作是一个完整的映射, 而是对当前投资空间的可视化分析.
This report estimates that by 2025 the Nordics could attract annual datacenter construction investments in the order of EUR 2-4.30亿年. This is based on the forecast of the future demand worldwide for datacenter services – as well as the strong value proposition of the Nordic countries towards large datacenter investments.
