Lolland-Falster: Denmark’s Sustainable Data Center Hotspot


<< Back to NEWS

As AI, cloud computing, and digitalization accelerate, Denmark is quickly becoming one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for large-scale data centers.

The newly published report The Backbone of Digitalization from Implement Consulting Group reveals that global data traffic is doubling every two years, with AI alone expected to increase computing needs by 30% annually. This surge is driving unprecedented demand for data center capacity — and Denmark is already on the map.

With political stability, advanced infrastructure, and abundant renewable energy, the country is a top choice for tech giants and colocation providers. By 2030, Danish data centers could consume up to 14% of the nation’s total electricity, up from 4% today — underscoring the need for sustainable power sources.

Why Lolland-Falster is Perfectly Positioned for Data Centers

When it comes to finding the right data center location in Denmark, Lolland-Falster offers a unique combination of advantages:

  • Abundant Green Energy – The region produces far more renewable energy than it consumes, powered by large-scale onshore/offshore wind, solar, and biogas facilities. This means secure, long-term access to competitively priced, carbon-neutral electricity.
  • Strategic Location – Positioned between Copenhagen and Hamburg, and soon connected via the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, Lolland-Falster is directly on Northern Europe’s digital infrastructure corridor.
  • Scalable Land Availability – Large, flat, and cost-effective plots, located near high-voltage grid connections, match the exact needs of hyperscale and colocation providers.
  • Natural Cooling Potential – A mild climate and access to seawater enable efficient, low-cost cooling solutions, reducing operational expenses.

Sustainability as a Competitive Edge

The report emphasizes that sustainability credentials now drive site selection. Hyperscale customers and cloud providers increasingly demand 100% renewable energy and the ability to reuse waste heat.

Lolland-Falster’s surplus green power and district heating networks enable data centers to exceed ESG requirements while integrating seamlessly into local communities.

An Open Invitation to the Industry

With Danish government backing for green infrastructure and municipalities eager to welcome investment, Lolland-Falster offers a rare, low-risk entry into a rapidly growing market.

As AI-driven computing and cloud storage needs expand, the winners will secure scalable capacity, guaranteed renewable power, and political stability.
