Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 10 |
| Total listed | 10 |

Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Brussels

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Brussels operates with acute power scarcity. The operator base remains fragmented: Bics Brussels leads with 3 sites, while Digital Realty, Proximus Netcenter, and three others operate 2 or fewer facilities each. No recent deals have been tracked in this market.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects a structural mismatch between demand for new capacity and the grid's ability to support it. This combination does not reflect demand weakness; it reflects supply-side gridlock that affects cost and delivery certainty for any project requiring incremental power.

Deal flow remains silent. No transactions have been recorded recently in Brussels, and the operator landscape shows no signs of consolidation or capital influx. Bics Brussels' three-site footprint makes it the leading local player, but the wider distribution across smaller operators—many holding single facilities—suggests the market has not attracted the scale-focused capital evident in other European regions.
