Data Center Power Index verdict for Amsterdam — the market this facility sits in.
Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Amsterdam — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Amsterdam's data center market is structurally oversupplied with acute power constraints that eliminate near-term investment appeal. The market comprises 217 tracked facilities delivering 1,061 MW of capacity, making it one of Europe's largest hubs by footprint. However, the DCPI assessment reveals a critical misalignment: excess-power scores just 21/100 while constraint severity registers 76/100, signaling that available MW cannot be deployed due to grid and cooling limitations. This paradox—abundance without usability—defines the current operational environment across the metro. The DCPI verdict of AVOID applies directly to acquisition and expansion strategies. A constraint rating of 76/100 indicates that power delivery infrastructure, interconnect availability, and thermal management have reached critical saturation in Amsterdam's core facilities. While 1,061 MW sounds substantial,…
