Data Centers in Denmark

Denmark – Nordic Gateway for Sustainable Digital Infrastructure

Denmark offers an exceptionally stable and reliable environment for high-performance computing, making it a prime choice for businesses prioritizing uptime, sustainability, and low-latency access to Northern Europe. Its combination of robust connectivity, a green energy grid, and very low natural disaster risk ensures that mission-critical digital assets remain secure and accessible.

Denmark: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Denmark's network infrastructure is advanced, carrier-dense, and highly interconnected, providing a solid foundation for digital services targeting the Nordics and Northern Europe.

Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: With over 25 providers operating in the country as of September 2025, businesses have ample choice. The market features 46 colocation data centers, many of which are carrier-neutral facilities offering diverse connectivity options.

Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Denmark provides over 2 direct cloud on-ramps, enabling low-latency hybrid cloud architectures. Native access is available to major platforms including AWS and Microsoft Azure, connecting to 16 cloud regions.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The primary exchange is the Danish Internet Exchange Point (DIX), which facilitates efficient traffic exchange and peering between networks, reducing latency for local users. Most significant peering occurs at the DIX, ensuring fast and direct data routing within the country.

Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are readily available from multiple providers. Companies like Hivelocity and OVHcloud offer dedicated server solutions for workloads requiring maximum performance and security.

Power Analysis

Denmark is a leader in renewable energy, which translates to a stable, green, and reliable power grid ideal for data center operations.

Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity costs are estimated to be between 0.80–1.10 DKK/kWh as of September 2025. This pricing, combined with a high percentage of renewable sources, provides predictable long-term operational expenses. The power mix is approximately 60% renewables, dominated by wind, with the remainder from fossil fuels.

Power Grid Reliability: The Danish power grid is exceptionally reliable and well-engineered. Major data center corridors benefit from redundant connections and support from multiple substations, ensuring high levels of uptime.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Denmark's strategic location and stable business environment make it an ideal hub for reaching affluent Northern European markets.

Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are concentrated near Copenhagen, the country's economic and governmental center. This provides low-latency connectivity to the finance, life sciences, and technology sectors headquartered in the capital region.

Regional Market Reach: From Denmark, organizations can effectively serve the entire Nordic region (Sweden, Norway, Finland) as well as Germany, Poland, and the Baltic states. Its central location minimizes latency to over 100 million consumers.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers: While Denmark does not offer specific tax incentives for data centers, it provides a highly transparent and efficient business climate. This predictability in corporate taxation and regulation simplifies long-term financial planning and reduces operational risk.

Natural Disaster Risk

Denmark has a very low natural disaster risk profile, with an overall INFORM Risk score of 1.4 out of 10 as of September 2025. This stability is a key advantage for ensuring business continuity and protecting critical infrastructure.

The primary natural hazards to consider, though still rated low, are:

• Coastal Flooding: The highest individual risk factor, reflecting the country's extensive coastline.
• Drought: A secondary, but minor, environmental risk.
• Epidemic: A general risk factor common to all developed nations.

Risks from earthquakes, tsunamis, river floods, and tropical cyclones are negligible, making Denmark one of the safest locations globally for data center investment.
