Switzerland's data centres draw 1.3 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 27th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 2.0% of everything the country generates — above the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 0.4 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 35% load factor.
One metro is tracked here: Zurich, at 170 MW and operating.
Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Power & Grid on the ownership basis, at #5 of 17.
It does not register at all on Silicon, Memory & Storage or Networking.
2 suppliers are domiciled here, booking roughly $32bn between them; the largest is Hitachi Energy.
Its single strongest grip on the buildout is Transformers & switchgear, where firms domiciled here hold 16% of global supply in a sub-layer weighted 0.80 for how hard it is to substitute.
About $1bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Switzerland, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Where Switzerland 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 |

| Transformers & switchgear | 16% C | ×0.80 |
Strongest single grip: Transformers & switchgear — 16% × 0.80 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.
