Equinix Lelystad AI Data Center (AMS10)
Status: Planning / Pre-Construction | Location: Flevokust Haven, Lelystad, Netherlands
Project Overview
The Equinix Lelystad project, located at the Flevokust Haven business park, is a €1.5 billion (approx. $1.63 billion) hyperscale development aimed at solidifying the Netherlands' position as a "Gateway to Europe" for AI workloads. Spanning a significant footprint, the facility is designed to support approximately 100 high-profile organizations, including government entities, healthcare providers, and major AI developers.
What sets this project apart is its aggressive 150 MW power strategy. Amidst a national debate over data center energy consumption, Equinix has integrated a sustainable "Circular Energy" model. The facility is expected to use a combination of advanced liquid cooling and waste-heat recovery systems, potentially feeding surplus heat back into local industrial or residential grids. Furthermore, the project is backed by an additional €5.5 billion in ecosystem funding from strategic partners, ensuring that the "AI-ready" infrastructure is matched by robust network and power reliability.
Construction is slated to leverage modular "Build with" techniques to accelerate the timeline, with the first phase targeting a 2027 go-live. This project is a cornerstone of Equinix’s 2025 global expansion, following its recent investments in Lagos and Milan, and marks its most significant foray into dedicated AI-infrastructure in the EMEA region.
