Netherlands's data centres draw 3.8 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 13th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 2.8% of everything the country generates — well above the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 1.4 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 30% load factor.
One metro is tracked here: Amsterdam, at 480 MW and operating.
Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Silicon on the ownership basis, at #4 of 9.
It does not register at all on Memory & Storage or Networking.
3 suppliers are domiciled here, booking roughly $42bn between them; the largest is ASML.
Its single strongest grip on the buildout is Semicap equipment, where firms domiciled here hold 22% of global supply in a sub-layer weighted 0.96 for how hard it is to substitute.
About $5bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Netherlands, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Grid friction
Widespread transport congestion on the national network limits new large connections in several provinces.
Where Netherlands 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.

| Sub-layer | Share | Substitutability |
|---|---|---|
| Semicap equipment | 22% B | ×0.96 |
Strongest single grip: Semicap equipment — 22% × 0.96 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.
