LandGate Expands Global Platform for Network Intelligence

In an important development for the energy and digital infrastructure sectors, LandGate has announced the extension of its global geodata platform to include the mapping of data centers across Europe. This strategic move enhances LandGate's capabilities by providing spatial transparency, energy efficiency metrics, and operational monitoring specifically tailored for 10 major European markets.

As of October 2, 2026, LandGate lists over 2,100 data center locations within these key markets. This addition is aimed at equipping developers, site selection specialists, and energy professionals with the necessary tools to assess land use, energy supply, connectivity, and permitting processes comprehensively. The expansion comes in the wake of LandGate's acquisition by Wood Mackenzie in June 2026, solidifying its position as a leading information platform globally while continuing to enhance its core technology.

Key Data Markets in Europe

The breadth of LandGate's surveillance spans across ten critical European markets:

• - United Kingdom: Home to more than 500 facilities, predominantly around London and Slough. The requests for grid connections here currently exceed 70 GW.
• - Germany: Featuring over 450 sites, primarily in Frankfurt, with an emphasis on energy efficiency as mandated by the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) that requires new constructions starting July 2026 to maintain a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.2 or less, along with a push for 100% renewable energy use by 2027.
• - France: Comprising over 250 establishments, mostly in Paris and Marseille, driven by significant investment commitments like Brookfield's €20 billion, 1 GW campus in Cambrai.
• - Netherlands: Home to approximately 198 facilities, mainly in Amsterdam, influenced by national restrictions on construction over 10 hectares or exceeding 70 MW outside designated zones, along with regional grid capacity limits through 2030.
• - Italy: Hosting around 180 sites, primarily in Milan, leveraging robust fiber networks and connections to Mediterranean submarine cables.
• - Spain: Including over 130 locations, focusing on Madrid and Aragón, where lower land costs align with the availability of power purchase agreements for large-scale solar and wind projects.
• - Ireland: Featuring 122 facilities, mainly in Dublin, where data centers accounted for 21% of the national electricity consumption in 2023. Regulations necessitate onsite controllable generation or storage capacity, covering 80% of energy needs from new renewable sources.
• - Sweden: With over 121 data centers, particularly in Stockholm, Falun, and Luleå, capitalizing on hydroelectric resources and cooler ambient temperatures, thereby favoring AI workloads.
• - Poland: Hosting around 107 sites, mainly in Warsaw, Katowice, and Poznań, benefiting from special economic zones (SEZ) and corporate power purchase agreements.
• - Switzerland: Consisting of over 105 facilities, particularly in Zurich and Geneva, marked by stringent urban space regulations and noise-controlled cooling requirements.

Flexible Data Integration Options

LandGate renders this comprehensive dataset accessible through various flexible architectures:
1. GIS Platform and DASS: Users can visually explore locations via interactive web maps.
2. API and Direct Export: Stakeholders can import all site attributes, including total capacity, IT space, rack capacity, status, PUE, operator contact information, and precise coordinates directly into their models.
3. MCP Server URL: LandGate data can be embedded directly into corporate AI agents, enabling natural language queries.

By coupling this European dataset with more than 6,200 sites in the United States and over 4,000 international locations across 160 countries, LandGate provides a unified overview of the global digital infrastructure landscape.
