Planned data centres
Where are Noord-Holland's new data centres going?
Data centres are kicking up a lot of dust in the Netherlands. Many Dutch people worry about the impact of data centres on our scarce space, on energy and on our climate. Some even say: "Wipe them off the map!" Many see it as a bad sign that the sector, led by the tech giants, is so secretive. This map tries to bring some clarity to the chaos by simply putting data centres in Noord-Holland on the map. Join us and Put Data Centres on the Map!
