Green energy makes up 75% of the Danish power supply, with new agreement in place the off shore wind capacity is about to be increased by at least 9GW.
Denmark has one of the most developed grid and advanced district heating systems in the world.
In Denmark district heating warms 64% of all Danish homes giving data centers the chance to connect to the grid to use the excess heat generated.
The low population density makes it possible to create large scale sites.
The mild Danish climate not only allows for low energy cooling but also ensures the site does not take damage due to the climate.
The countries low latency network gives you a high-speed connection to Central Europe, Ireland, the UK and the US. High-capacity power connections link Denmark with the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Germany, while a connection to the United Kingdom is in the pipeline.
The Danish data center industry has over the years developed into a mature ecosystem, with the likes of DDI, Invest in Denmark, and many other organisations actively working on creating optimal conditions for data center investments, research and development. Furthermore, the country is ripe with a wide range of data center operators and suppliers across the entire data center stack.
DDI has established three core working tracks, which focus on data center public affairs, skills, and education and international business development.
