Europe’s next generation of hyperscale data centres will be located almost four times further from established hubs than projects delivered over the past three years.
That’s according to new research from JLL, which found that hyperscale campuses planned between 2026 and 2028 will be located an average of 175km from major EMEA hub cities, compared with just 46km for projects delivered between 2022 and 2025.
The shift comes as developers attempt to secure the increasingly large amounts of electricity required by AI infrastructure, while grid constraints, planning restrictions and a shortage of suitable land make further development around Europe’s traditional data centre hubs more difficult.
