  • Access Capital Partners flagged power and water constraints as the key gating factors for Europe’s next data center buildout.
  • Electricity demand from European data centers is projected to rise to 236 TWh by 2035 from 96 TWh in 2024.
  • Grid connection queues are lengthening in core hubs, raising development timelines, capex risk, operating costs, tenant delivery risk.
