Data Centers in Lithuania

Lithuania – Strategic Hub for Baltic & Nordic Digital Markets

Lithuania serves as a strategic digital gateway to the Baltic region and Northern Europe. The country offers a stable, low-risk environment with favorable business conditions, making it an excellent choice for enterprises requiring a foothold to serve customers in Latvia, Estonia, and the Nordic countries with low latency. Its developing infrastructure provides a solid foundation for colocation and disaster recovery operations.

Lithuania: At A Glance

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem

Lithuania's connectivity market is growing, offering a solid base for regional digital services. The country has 11 data centers and over 4 network service providers, as of September 2025, ensuring competitive options for colocation and interconnection.

Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: The market includes several carrier-neutral facilities, primarily in Vilnius, providing access to a range of local and international carriers. This environment supports resilient, multi-carrier network strategies.

Direct Cloud On-Ramps: There are no public cloud on-ramps located directly within Lithuania, as of September 2025. Businesses connect to major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure through private network extensions to major European hubs such as Warsaw, Stockholm, or Frankfurt.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The primary exchange is the BALT-IX in Vilnius, which facilitates efficient local traffic peering, reducing latency for domestic users. Most international peering occurs via transit providers connecting to larger European exchanges.

Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are available from providers operating within the region. Companies like OVHcloud provide dedicated server infrastructure, enabling customized hardware deployments without capital expenditure.

Power Analysis

Lithuania offers a reliable and progressively green power grid suitable for mission-critical data center operations.

Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity costs are estimated between €0.12 and €0.15 per kWh, as of September 2025. These competitive rates, combined with a high percentage of renewables, help control operational expenses. The power mix is approximately 72% low-carbon, with renewables forming the vast majority.

Power Grid Reliability: The national power grid is well-engineered and stable, particularly in the capital region of Vilnius where most data centers are located. The infrastructure benefits from integration with the wider Nordic-Baltic energy market, enhancing supply redundancy.

Market Access, Business & Tax Climate

Lithuania's business environment is structured to attract foreign investment, particularly in the technology sector.

Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are concentrated in and around Vilnius, the capital and largest business center. This location provides low-latency connectivity to the country's financial, government, and technology sectors.

Regional Market Reach: Strategically positioned on the Baltic Sea, Lithuania provides effective access to a market of over 6 million people across the Baltic states (Latvia and Estonia). Its proximity to Poland and the Nordic countries also makes it a viable location for serving broader Northern and Eastern European markets.

Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Lithuania offers significant tax incentives for new business investments. The country's seven Special Economic Zones (SEZs) provide benefits such as reduced corporate income tax and zero tax on dividends for foreign investors, lowering the total cost of ownership for data center operations.

Natural Disaster Risk

Lithuania has a very low natural disaster risk profile, with an INFORM Risk score of 2.1 out of 10, as of September 2025. This stability is a significant advantage for ensuring high uptime and business continuity.

The primary environmental risks are moderate and manageable:

• River Flood: The highest individual risk factor, though incidents are localized and predictable.
• Coastal Flood: A moderate concern for coastal areas, but not impacting the primary data center hub in Vilnius.
• Drought: A minor, seasonal risk that does not typically affect critical infrastructure operations.

Risks from earthquakes and tropical cyclones are negligible, making the country one of the safest locations in Europe for critical IT infrastructure.
