Belgium’s Upcoming Data Center Power Capacity to Strengthen AI, HPC, and Cloud Infrastructure Readiness

Belgium’s data center landscape is poised for significant expansion, with upcoming power capacity set to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure readiness for AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud workloads. According to the newly released "Belgium Existing & Upcoming Data Center Portfolio" report by ResearchAndMarkets.com, the country currently hosts around 35 operational colocation data centers, with the majority of existing rack capacity concentrated in the Brussels region. Brussels is emerging as the epicenter of Belgium’s data center growth, accounting for over 65 megawatts (MW) of planned IT power capacity in upcoming facilities. This development underscores the region’s growing importance as a hub for advanced digital infrastructure, particularly as demand for energy-intensive AI and HPC applications surges across Europe. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of Belgium’s data center market, covering detailed insights into 35 existing facilities and four major upcoming projects. Key locations included in the study are Aalst, Anderlecht, Antwerp, Brussels, Brussels West, Gent, Herstal, Leuven, Liège, Limburg, Muizen, Oostkamp, Wallonia, Zaventem, and Zele. The database includes granular data such as existing and upcoming white-floor space in square feet, current and projected IT load capacity through 2029, and colocation pricing at both retail and wholesale levels. Among the leading operators driving this growth are Digital Realty, EdgeConneX, LCL Data Centers, and Datacenter United. These companies are actively expanding their presence in Belgium, capitalizing on the country’s strategic geographic location, stable power supply, and strong connectivity across Europe. The report highlights that Belgium’s upcoming data center capacity will play a critical role in supporting the next generation of digital workloads. As AI models grow in size and complexity, the demand for scalable, energy-efficient infrastructure capable of handling intensive computational tasks continues to rise. Belgium’s planned power additions are expected to help meet this demand, positioning the country as a key player in Europe’s digital infrastructure network. Pricing data in the report shows a competitive landscape, with wholesale colocation rates per kilowatt and retail pricing models varying by location and facility specifications. These figures are essential for enterprises and cloud providers evaluating data center options in the region. The analysis also includes visual infographics comparing existing and upcoming capacity, offering a clear snapshot of market evolution. With increasing investments and strategic expansions underway, Belgium is well-positioned to become a preferred destination for data-intensive operations across AI, HPC, and cloud computing sectors.
