EMEA data centre capacity exceeds 12.1 GW as energy constraints slow growth

Operational data centre capacity across EMEA exceeded 12.1 GW in the first half of 2026, with a further 18.3 GW under construction or in the planning pipeline. Warsaw remains Poland’s largest data centre market, but limited power availability and grid connection capacity are holding back new developments. Demand for AI infrastructure is also driving interest in locations beyond the Polish capital.

Power, Power, Power

Access to electricity, rather than its price, is becoming the decisive factor in the development of data centres, as AI drives up demand and Europe's established hubs run out of capacity. This was the central message of Eurobuild's Data Centers – Real Estate, Technology, Investments conference, held at the Warsaw Presidential Hotel on 19 October.

Data centres could supply more heat to Polish cities

Poland’s growing data centre market could create a significant new source of waste heat for heating networks. According to analysis by the Polish Data Centre Association, if the market continues to expand, recovered heat from data centres could equal more than 7 pct of the heat currently supplied to Poland’s district heating networks by 2030. By 2035, that figure could reach 16 pct.

AI and cloud demand drives growth in European data centre market

Demand for computing power is rising rapidly, driven by artificial intelligence and cloud services. This is accelerating growth in Europe’s data centre market. The sector’s total capacity could reach 13 GW by the end of 2026, up 20 pct year on year, according to CBRE’s 'Europe Data Centres Q2 2026' report. Rising demand is also changing where data centres are being built. Investors are increasingly looking beyond the largest hubs, creating new opportunities for Poland, where data centre capacity could grow from around 200 MW today to 500 MW by 2030.

Poland to benefit from data centre realignment

While just a few years ago, investment locations were primarily determined by demand, today access to electricity is becoming a key factor.

Data centres spread out across the region

The EMEA data centre market is entering a new phase where power availability, not demand, is defining growth, forcing a structural shift in how and where capital is deployed. According to Colliers’ EMEA Data Centre Markets Report | H1 2026, the region continues to see strong demand from hyperscale cloud, AI workloads and sovereign requirements, but the ability to convert that demand into operational capacity is becoming increasingly uneven.
