The market primarily relies on national backbone providers connecting to major interconnection points in larger Italian cities. Carrier-neutral facilities provide access to key Tier 1 and Tier 2 networks.

Power Analysis
Average Cost Of Power The estimated cost for industrial power in the Lecce region ranges from €0.22 to €0.27/kWh, as of September 2025. This pricing is in line with national averages and is influenced by a grid mix of approximately 60% fossil fuels and 40% renewables. Predictable power costs support stable operational expense planning.

Major data center locations benefit from redundant power infrastructure common in developed European markets, ensuring high levels of uptime for critical operations.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

This proximity is critical for local government, research, and commercial entities requiring low-latency infrastructure.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers Italy offers national tax incentives that benefit data center operators and tenants. The primary advantage is a subsidy for implementing energy-efficient systems and related infrastructure improvements, which helps lower capital expenditures and long-term operational costs.

- Earthquake: 7.7/10
- Coastal Flood: 6.5/10
- River Flood: 6.2/10
- Tsunami: 6.1/10
