Data Centers in Denmark

Denmark – Europe's Sustainable Gateway to the Nordics

Denmark: Northern Europe's Digital Anchor

Denmark is the primary digital bridge between the Nordic region and Central Europe, providing a high-stability environment for mission-critical infrastructure. It is the destination for organizations requiring ultra-low latency to Scandinavian markets and a sustainable, wind-powered grid to secure long-term revenue.

Denmark: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Denmark maintains a mature digital ecosystem characterized by high carrier density and its position as a landing point for major subsea cables connecting North America to Europe.

• Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Denmark features over 26 providers across 46 facilities as of December 2025. Most colocation sites operate under carrier-neutral models, allowing for competitive pricing and diverse routing options.
• Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Over 2 direct on-ramps are active, enabling access to 16 cloud regions as of December 2025. This includes dedicated access to AWS and Microsoft Azure.
• Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The Danish Internet Exchange (DIX) is the primary local exchange, providing low-latency peering and reducing transit costs for regional traffic.
• Bare Metal: High-performance bare metal services are widely available through global providers such as Hivelocity and phoenixNAP as of December 2025, supporting automated infrastructure deployments.

Power Analysis

Denmark is a global leader in sustainable energy, attracting significant hyperscale investment from the largest technology firms.

• Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity rates typically range from $0.28/kWh to $0.34/kWh as of December 2025. While costs are higher than the European average, the energy mix is over 60% renewable, with wind power accounting for roughly 50% of production.
• Power Grid Reliability: The Danish power grid is well-engineered and redundant. Multiple substation support and a decentralized generation model ensure that data center corridors in Copenhagen and Jutland maintain world-class uptime.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Denmark provides a transparent and efficient environment for international business and long-term infrastructure investment.

• Proximity To Key Business Districts: Most data centers are concentrated near Copenhagen, the nation financial hub, and in central Jutland. Proximity to these areas ensures rapid service delivery for the pharmaceutical, shipping, and green-tech industries.
• Regional Market Reach: Denmark serves as a gateway to the 27 million inhabitants of the Nordic region and offers high-capacity links into Northern Germany.
• Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Denmark focuses on a stable regulatory environment rather than offering specific industry tax breaks. This policy provides predictable operational costs for companies managing large capital deployments.

Natural Disaster Risk

Denmark is one of the lowest-risk jurisdictions globally for natural disasters. The infrastructure is purpose-built to handle the specific environmental conditions of the region.

• Risk Rubric: Low (1.4/10) as of December 2025.
• Primary Hazards:
  • Coastal Flood: 7.1 (Regional note: Facilities use specific site engineering to mitigate this risk).
  • Drought: 3.3.
  • Epidemic: 2.3.
  • Earthquake: 0.1.

The risk of seismic activity or major inland flooding is negligible. Other hazards, such as tsunamis and tropical cyclones, are not material to this geography as of December 2025.
