Top countries by data center count

According to recent data, the number of data centers in various countries serves as an indicator of new industrialization. The United States and Europe remain leaders in the number of facilities, but in terms of power generation, Western European countries significantly lag behind China. U.S. President Donald Trump has already demanded that tech giants build power generation facilities simultaneously with data centers. Otherwise, in his opinion, the growth of digital infrastructure leads to a sharp increase in electricity tariffs for the population.

Context

The growth of digital infrastructure requires substantial energy supply, which increases economic demands on electricity providers.
