In late July, Warsaw formally threw its hat into the ring: Poland wants one of the seven EU-backed AI gigafactories while private developers are already locking in grid connections at gigawatt scale.

Berlin is easing efficiency requirements for existing data centres while tightening waste-heat obligations for new builds.

Warsaw’s grid bottleneck is pushing hyperscalers and investors to redirect capital toward Poznań, Katowice, Kraków and Wrocław.

EMEA has 12.5 GW of operational data-centre capacity in service and 78 GW in the pipeline. It is no longer demand but the grid connection that decides where capital lands.

A market worth USD 10.4 billion, but the bottleneck is not capital, it is megawatts. How congested grids and a new waste-heat mandate are reshaping Germany’s data centre investment market.

No segment of Europe’s real estate market is growing faster in 2026 than data centres and few locations benefit more than Poland.

Data centers have stopped being invisible background infrastructure and become one of the hottest segments of the digital economy.

For data centre investors, cooling is no longer a back-of-house engineering detail.

Berlin is one of Europe’s largest and most structurally undersupplied student housing markets.
