Our European pipeline tracker follows 5 data-centre projects of 1 MW or more that Nscale develops or co-develops, in 3 countries; 1 is permitted or already being built. The largest share is in Norway, with 3 projects.

20% are permitted or being built, against 44% across the whole tracker, so the pipeline is earlier-stage than the European average. The milestones we hold run from Mar 2026 to Sep 2026.
