Overview
Google opened its Fredericia data centre in 2020 after a EUR 600 million investment announced in 2018. Meta says it has invested more than DKK 10 billion at Odense, where about 165,000 MWh a year of surplus heat goes to district heating, although further Meta projects there were halted in December 2022. No operator publishes MW for its Danish sites.
Grid context
Energinet analysis assumptions (AF26) include data centres, but the values could not be read as text and are not shown.

Capacity in tracked public coverage
Tracked public coverage, not a national total. Sums of reported, project-level figures from 0 of the 3 published project records we track for Denmark. Each metric and each delivery class is summed on its own and never added to another. Confirmed operating capacity never includes design or ultimate capacity. Delayed projects are never counted as under construction now. Campus and phase figures are not double counted. Ranges and upper bounds are not summed. Unknown values are not counted as zero.
None of the tracked project records for Denmark has a figure that can be summed yet. Figures with an unclear basis and undisclosed values are never added. Each project page lists its reported figures as published. Not disclosed is not zero.
Figures not counted (2) and why
- Google Fredericia data centre (Jutland)
- Investment EUR 600 million: Marked not summable by research: Investment in EUR millions
- Meta Odense data centre (Funen)
- Investment at least DKK 10 billion: Marked not summable by research: Cumulative investment in DKK billions, lower bound
Method: capacity rules. Company-wide investment, area figures and third-party market estimates are never included in these sums.
