LandGate Maps 2,100+ European Data Centers, Expanding Global Grid…

Event summary

LandGate now tracks 2,100+ data center facilities across 10 key European markets, including 500+ in the UK and 450+ in Germany.
The expansion follows LandGate's June 2026 acquisition by Wood Mackenzie, accelerating its global market footprint.
New dataset provides site-level spatial visibility, energy performance metrics, and operational tracking for European data centers.
LandGate delivers data via GIS, API, MCP Server, or direct export, complementing its existing coverage of 6,200+ U.S. and 4,000+ international facilities.

The big picture

LandGate's expansion into European data center mapping comes as hyperscale deployment and AI workloads push power density demands to record highs. The move solidifies its role as the primary intelligence layer for global site selection and power procurement, leveraging Wood Mackenzie's acquisition to scale its technology and market reach. With data centers consuming significant national power in markets like Ireland, the platform's energy performance metrics and operational tracking are critical for developers and energy professionals navigating regulatory and infrastructure constraints.
