Webinar – Poland’s rising role in Europe’s data center evolution

The data center market in Eastern Europe is still in its early stages, but Poland is emerging as a potential hotspot. With new large-scale projects under development, attention is shifting from traditional hubs like the Netherlands and UK toward countries such as Spain, Italy, and Poland. While demand is rising, data centers require 99.9% reliability, pushing operators to secure both strong grid connections and autonomous backup systems. This level of resilience has direct implications for grid capacity, demand connection queues, and the ability to integrate new energy-intensive facilities without compromising system stability. 

Beyond grid access, developers must also weigh energy and cooling needs, with efficiency metrics like PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness)—the share of total energy used directly for computing—and WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) shaping investment decisions. Hyperscalers, colocation facilities, and low-latency centers all bring different demands to the market, but each must balance cost, efficiency, and resilience. Lessons from other countries, such as Ireland where up to 20% of national electricity consumption now goes to data centers, highlight the scale of the challenge. With energy infrastructure representing nearly 80% of data center CAPEX, the feasibility of rapid expansion in Eastern Europe depends on how quickly grids, regulators, and investors adapt. 

Find out in this exclusive webinar where industry experts will share their insights on: 

• Assess the impact of data center development on Poland’s electricity grid, including rising demand, connection bottlenecks, and implications for other industries. 

• Explore reliability requirements (99.9% uptime) and discuss the need for dual systems—grid plus autonomous backup—to meet international standards. 

• Debate the role of PUE and WUE as benchmarks for efficiency, and evaluate how Poland compares to leading data center markets. 

• Examine the types of facilities being developed in Poland—hyperscalers, colocation, and low-latency centers—and their respective infrastructure demands and how cities such as Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Kraków are attracting investment thanks to low latency, strong regional connectivity, and competitive energy conditions 

• Learn from international case studies, such as Ireland’s high energy load from data centers, to anticipate potential risks and opportunities in Eastern Europe.
