The data centre industry is in a constant race to meet surging demand. With the number of facilities needing to increase nearly 2.5 times by 2025 – equating to 3,000 new data centres across Europe – contractors face both significant opportunities and formidable challenges.
From rising material costs and labour shortages to grid connection delays that can severely impact project timelines, the obstacles are numerous. In fact, power availability is now often prioritised over location, as connection delays continue to complicate the construction process, reports Agrekko, a provider of temporary power solutions.
Aggreko recently surveyed nearly 500 construction managers across Europe to understand how they are navigating these complexities. The research dives into pressing issues such as sustainability, efficiency, weather, and energy supply.
To explore these insights further, Aggreko has created a series of infographics that highlight the key challenges and opportunities shaping the data centre construction landscape.
