Italy's data centres draw 2.2 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 18th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 0.8% of everything the country generates — below the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 0.6 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 43% load factor.
One metro is tracked here: Milan, at 330 MW and under construction.
330 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 control basis, at #7 of 12.
It does not register at all on Memory & Storage or Networking.
2 suppliers are domiciled here, booking roughly $20bn between them; the largest is Prysmian.
Its single strongest grip on the buildout is Cables & HVDC, where firms domiciled here hold 20% of global supply in a sub-layer weighted 0.90 for how hard it is to substitute.
About $4bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Italy, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Where Italy 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.

Supply positions
Share of each global sub-layer held by firms domiciled here, and how hard that sub-layer would be to substitute. Those two multiplied are what the control basis ranks on.
Power & Grid
| Sub-layer | Share | Substitutability |

| Turbines & prime movers | 6% B | ×0.95 |
| Cables & HVDC | 20% C | ×0.90 |
Strongest single grip: Cables & HVDC — 20% × 0.90 substitutability weight.

Revenue is the group or segment figure closest to each tier's perimeter. Segment boundaries differ between issuers, so treat the split as indicative.
