Five questions a data-centre board asks about Europe, each with its headline answer from today’s ScienceShot dataset. The dashboard holds the detail behind every one.
01
467 data-centre projects of 5 MW or more in 24 countries. 201 are permitted or being built, 109 of them already on site.
Open the pipeline tracker467 projects
Projects are counted, never their megawatts: each states capacity on its own basis. The dashboard breaks this down by country, market, operator and milestone.
02
New connections are paused in all or part of 2 of the 17 countries we track and rationed in 5. Only 4 have no pause, cap or condition on them.
Open the grid connection tracker17 countries
A country counts as paused or rationed when the rule covers all or part of its grid. The dashboard names the rule, the area it covers and when it changes.
03
31 markets compared on up to six measures: projects, how many are permitted or being built, the rule on new grid connections, power price, grid carbon and latency to the nearest major hub.

35 operators and developers with three or more projects in the pipeline, 25 of them in more than one country.

Across 15 European grids this hour, Norway (NO2) is the cleanest at 24 g CO2e/kWh against 687 g in Poland. Power is cheapest in Finland, at 51 EUR/MWh.
