NetherlandsBy mid-2026, 15,498 Dutch firms queued for grid capacity.

Ordinary warehouses rank behind hospitals, police and housing in the queue, some waiting over 10 years.

SEGRO’s first full London data centre draws 70 megavolt-amperes, as much as 7 to 14 large automated warehouses.

Per megavolt-ampere, warehouses can pay more rent: £730,000-£1.45 million a year against SEGRO’s £330,000 for data centres.

Prologis’s £14 billion takeover of SEGRO, Britain’s largest logistics landlord, completes in the first half of 2027.
