Where should your next data center go? The grid decides — we map it.

Country-by-country scores for green-powered data center investment: electricity prices, PPA markets, grid queues & reliability, cooling climate, water stress and incentives. Adjustable weights, your own scenarios, updated continuously.

See the whole board.Eleven countries scored across six investment-critical layers — from Frankfurt's grid queues to Riyadh's 20-year 5% tax zone. One screen, no 200-page PDF.
Weight it your way.An AI training campus doesn't care about latency; a colocation play lives on it. Adjust layer weights, switch investor profiles, or plug in your own site data.
Know the bottleneck first.Every location card shows the layers that will hurt — grid reliability that doubles your Tier III cost, water stress that kills evaporative cooling, permits that take years.
