Will be interesting to see where datacenters wind up in Europe this next decade. My money is on Norway.

Norway seems poised to build out significantly. They're actively inviting datacenters [1]. They also seem to have lower electric costs for large businesses [2] vs Ireland [3]. FAANG are already populating the Nordics too [4].
