Data Centers in Denmark

Denmark – Nordic Hub for Resilient, Green IT

Denmark is a premier market for enterprises prioritizing sustainability, low-risk operations, and excellent connectivity to Northern Europe. Its combination of a highly reliable green power grid, dense fiber networks, and a stable business climate makes it an ideal location for deploying critical infrastructure that supports digital services across the Nordics, Germany, and the UK.

Denmark: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Denmark's network infrastructure is modern, dense, and highly interconnected, offering excellent performance for digital services targeting Northern Europe.

Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: With over 26 network providers active as of September 2025, Denmark offers a competitive and diverse connectivity market. A strong presence of carrier-neutral facilities in Copenhagen ensures choice and resilience.

Direct Cloud On-Ramps: The market features 2 dedicated cloud on-ramps, enabling direct, low-latency connections to 16 cloud regions. Private connections are available to major providers, including:

• AWS
• Microsoft Azure

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The primary exchange point is the Danish Internet Exchange (DIX), which facilitates efficient traffic exchange between local and international networks, reducing latency for end-users. Most significant peering occurs directly within Copenhagen's data centers.

Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are widely available from providers operating within Denmark. Companies like OVHcloud and IONOS offer dedicated server solutions for workloads requiring maximum performance and security.

Power Analysis

Denmark is a global leader in renewable energy, which directly benefits data center operators through grid stability and sustainability credentials.

Average Cost Of Power: Industrial power costs are estimated to range from DKK 0.80–1.10/kWh as of September 2025. This price point, combined with a green energy profile, creates a compelling total cost of ownership for sustainable IT operations.

Power Grid Reliability: The Danish power grid is exceptionally reliable and well-engineered, drawing over 60% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily wind. Major data center clusters are supported by redundant power feeds from multiple substations, ensuring high uptime.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Denmark provides a stable and efficient environment for establishing and operating digital infrastructure.

Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are concentrated near Copenhagen, providing low-latency access to the capital's financial, life sciences, and technology sectors. This proximity is critical for applications in fintech, research, and digital media.

Regional Market Reach: Strategically located as a gateway to the Nordic countries and Northern Germany, Denmark serves as an effective hub for reaching over 100 million consumers. Its extensive subsea cable connections further enhance its reach to the UK and North America.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers: The country's primary financial benefit is its stable and predictable business environment rather than direct tax breaks. This predictability allows for accurate long-term financial planning and investment security for large-scale data center projects.

Natural Disaster Risk

Denmark has a very low risk profile for natural disasters, making it one of the safest locations globally for critical infrastructure.

The country's overall disaster risk score is Low (1.4/10) as of September 2025. While the overall threat is minimal, key considerations are primarily climate-related.

The highest-scoring natural hazards include:

• Coastal Flood: The most significant risk, though modern infrastructure is built to mitigate its effects.
• Drought: A secondary, moderate concern that can impact environmental and agricultural sectors.
• Epidemic: A low-probability, high-impact risk managed by a strong healthcare system.

Risks from earthquakes, tsunamis, river floods, and tropical cyclones are negligible.
