Chart of the Month Vol. 33 | "Data at the Center: An AI-powered Future" | Powered by Deloitte

HAEE presents the new volume in the Chart of the Month series. Titled “Data at the Center: An AI-powered Future”, the latest HAEE Chart explores the evolving energy landscape of data centers in Europe, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability. Europe hosts over 2,000 data centers, with the highest concentration in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, while Nordic countries are attracting new investments due to lower energy costs and renewable energy access. Greece is emerging as a regional data hub, with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon investing in infrastructure supported by government reforms and subsea cable projects.

Efficiency remains critical, with AI-driven energy management, advanced cooling systems, and heat reuse projects enhancing sustainability. The global trend toward carbon neutrality is pushing the adoption of renewables, waste heat recovery, and energy storage. By 2030, global data center construction spending is projected to reach nearly $50 billion. The sector must balance rising digital demand with sustainability targets, making energy efficiency both a necessity and a competitive advantage.

This edition presents the latest trends and updates concerning data centers in Greece, Europe and the world.
