Netherlands
The Netherlands has 136 operating data centers in our registry, and we estimate 1 340 MW of data center capacity in the country. About 1 220 MW of that is colocation and hyperscale capacity we track directly.

The Netherlands is one of Europe’s core data center markets, with Amsterdam – home to one of the world’s largest internet exchanges – forming part of the FLAP-D group of hubs. Grid congestion and competition for space have made it one of the most regulated markets in Europe.

Amsterdam paused new data centers in 2019, and a further moratorium introduced in 2023 has since been renewed. Since 2022, hyperscale projects above 70 MW have been restricted nationwide, with exemptions for the grid-connected northern locations of Het Hogeland (Eemshaven) and Hollands Kroon (Agriport). The regulator ACM prioritizes connections with a “social function” – projects that relieve congestion or provide public services – and allows connection capacity to be reduced where it is not fully used.
