A public log of 7 European data center land and site transactions with their published terms: 3 completed, the rest agreed or non-binding. Each row separates grid MW from IT MW and completed prices from offers, because the two are often mixed up. Prices range from €11 million for a 25 MW powered plot near Madrid to €225 million for a permitted former power-plant site in the UK.

Findings
One non-binding offer pays €1m per MW of RTB IT capacity; another pays €1.5m per site upfront and €1.5m more at RTB.
4 of 7 rows have no disclosed price; the stage and capacity basis are still informative.
A grid power agreement includes cooling and losses; RTB offers are often quoted per IT MW. The table never divides one by the other.
Non-binding offers can change after due diligence; they are labelled as such.

Method and inclusion rules
- Only transactions with a public source; each row links them.
- Capacity is recorded with its basis (grid, IT, potential); price per MW is computed only for grid-basis rows with both figures.
- Status distinguishes completed sales from agreed, non-binding or undisclosed deals.
- Ampervia’s own candidate sites are never listed here.
