Weathering the storm for data centre construction
See how the data centre industry is weathering the storm and prepare for what’s next.
The data centre industry is in a constant race to meet surging demand. With the number of facilities needing to increase nearly 2.5 times by 2025 - equating to 3,000 new data centres across Europe - contractors face both significant opportunities and formidable challenges.
From rising material costs and labour shortages to grid connection delays that can severely impact project timelines, the obstacles are numerous. In fact, power availability is now often prioritised over location, as connection delays continue to complicate the construction process.
At Aggreko, we’ve surveyed nearly 500 construction managers across Europe to understand how they are navigating these complexities. Our research dives into pressing issues such as sustainability, efficiency, weather, and energy supply.
To explore these insights further, we’ve created a series of infographics that highlight the key challenges and opportunities shaping the data centre construction landscape. For a deeper dive, simply provide your details, and we’ll grant you access to the full findings on Censuswide.
