European AI & HPC Capacity Outlook 2026–2028
Deployed, AI-ready and HPC capacity across Europe, with live and target dates kept apart
Commissioned edition, scope agreed before order
Decision and outcome
Judge how much AI and HPC capacity Europe can actually deliver by 2027 and 2028, and who controls it
A country and operator comparison that separates deployed AI capacity from AI-ready space and HPC, with risk-adjusted scenarios built on explicit assumptions
Geography
EU27, United Kingdom, Norway and Switzerland
Evidence date
Live capacity at edition date; targets to end 2028
Capacity basis
Each figure keeps its stated basis and date
Chapter outline
1. Definitions
- AI deployed, AI-ready and HPC
- Live versus target ready-for-service
2. Country comparison
- Live capacity and 2027/2028 targets by country
3. Owner and operator segmentation
- Hyperscalers, neoclouds, colocation and public HPC
4. Power and cooling evidence
- Grid connection status
- Liquid cooling and density evidence
5. Contracted versus open capacity
- Publicly reported contracts
- Capacity still marketed
6. Scenarios
- Risk-adjusted 2027 and 2028 scenarios with explicit assumptions
7. Evidence register
- Every figure with source and date
Included deliverables
- Chapter outline agreed at commissioning
- Country and operator comparison
- Evidence register with sources and dates
- Risk-adjusted scenarios with stated assumptions
Limits
- Labels such as AI-ready do not prove installed AI hardware
- Target dates are operator statements, not delivery forecasts
- Price is PowerlandMap's proposed catalogue price, not an external market benchmark
- Not yet written: scope and delivery date are agreed before any order
