Belgium's data centres draw 1.2 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 29th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 1.8% of everything the country generates — above the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 0.3 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 40% load factor.
One metro is tracked here: Brussels, at 130 MW and under construction.
130 MW of that is not yet operating: it is under construction or still an announcement.
Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Power & Grid on the physical basis, at #30 of 77.
It does not register at all on Silicon, Memory & Storage or Networking.
About $1.5bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Belgium, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Where Belgium ranks
The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.
