“The Growing Demand For Data Centers”
- In Europe, the relentless surge in digitalization is driving an unprecedented expansion in data center infrastructure. From major cities such as Frankfurt, London, and Amsterdam to emerging edge locations across Central and Eastern Europe, the need for robust data storage and processing capabilities has become mission-critical. This surge is fueled by the rapid growth of cloud computing, AI workloads, IoT adoption, and e-commerce, which are reshaping how businesses and consumers interact with digital services.
- With the increasing power density requirements of edge computing and AI-based workloads, modern data centers are shifting toward modular, lithium-ion-based UPS architectures to enhance flexibility, reduce space consumption, and support long-term operational resilience. This structural transformation places UPS systems at the core of data center design, making them indispensable for the region’s digital future.
- For instance, in February 2025, as reported by Reuters, Europe is set to witness a record 937 MW of new data center capacity rollout, marking the largest annual increase in its history. Key cities including Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin are leading this surge, driven by the growing demand for cloud computing, AI workloads, and edge services. This rapid expansion is placing significant pressure on energy infrastructure and accelerating the need for high-performance UPS systems to ensure uninterrupted power and operational continuity across Europe’s increasingly power-dense data environments, both inland and offshore—cutting losses and stabilizing the grid across regions
