Portugal – Atlantic Hub for European Connectivity
Executive Summary
Portugal is an emerging data center market, strategically positioned as a digital gateway between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Its primary strengths are a high concentration of renewable energy and its role as a key landing point for major subsea cables. This makes Portugal an excellent choice for disaster recovery sites and edge deployments serving the Iberian Peninsula, reducing latency for end-users in the region.

Network & Connectivity Ecosystem
Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Portugal's ecosystem includes over 14 network carriers as of September 2025, with major data centers in Lisbon and Porto offering carrier-neutral interconnection.
Direct Cloud On-Ramps: The country has over 1 direct cloud on-ramp, enabling low-latency access to 1 cloud region as of September 2025. This includes a dedicated point of presence for:
- AWS
Access to other major cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud is typically achieved through private network extensions to Madrid.
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The primary IXP is GigaPIX, which facilitates the majority of domestic peering and improves traffic routing efficiency within Portugal.
Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are available, with providers like Hivelocity and Latitude.sh offering dedicated server solutions for compute-intensive workloads.
Power Analysis
Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity costs generally range from €0.16 – €0.21/kWh as of September 2025. Portugal's power mix is heavily weighted towards renewables (~88%), providing a sustainable and increasingly stable energy source for data center operations.
Power Grid Reliability: The national power grid is reliable, particularly in the major metropolitan areas where data centers are concentrated. Facilities are supported by well-engineered electrical infrastructure with built-in redundancy to ensure high uptime.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are located near Lisbon's commercial center and the growing technology hub in Sines. Sines is a critical landing point for multiple transatlantic subsea cables, making it a strategic location for network-dependent businesses.
Regional Market Reach: Portugal provides effective, low-latency access to the entire Iberian Peninsula, serving a population of over 57 million people across Portugal and Spain. Its Atlantic position also makes it a natural interconnection point for traffic flowing to and from Africa and the Americas.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers: While no specific tax incentives for data centers are currently active, Portugal offers a stable corporate tax environment within the European Union. Businesses can benefit from the country's membership in the EU single market and its established legal framework.
Natural Disaster Risk
Portugal has a very low overall risk profile for natural disasters, with an INFORM Risk score of 1.9 out of 10 as of September 2025. This score indicates a stable environment for critical infrastructure investments.
The most significant, though still low-rated, natural hazards include:
- Coastal Flood: 4.6/10
- Tsunami: 4.3/10
- River Flood: 3.8/10
- Earthquake: 3.4/10
- Drought: 3.3/10
