# How much does powered land cost per MW in Europe?

> Reported prices run from about **€200,000 to €2.26 million per MW** depending on market and how firm the power is. Prime FLAP-D hubs are at the top (€2.26 million per MW in 2026, per JLL); completed southern European deals have been far lower, such as €11 million for a 25 MW site near Madrid.

## What moves the price

- **Firmness of power:** an energised or permitted connection is worth several times a capacity that is only published.
- **Market:** primary hubs command a premium for latency and ecosystem.
- **Timing:** late power (years away) is discounted heavily.
- **Transferability:** rules like Spain’s CNAE lock can stop a permit following the land.

## Questions

### Is the price per IT MW or grid MW?

Usually per IT MW in market reports, but deal announcements often quote grid MW. Check before comparing.

### Why are Spanish prices lower than Frankfurt’s?

Lower land values, a younger market and more grid capacity outside Madrid. The gap narrows where power is scarce.
