Why prices sit where they do

Frankfurt is Europe's eastbound gateway as much as a domestic market. The metro sits 118 ms from Dubai, 140 ms from Mumbai, 162 ms from Kuala Lumpur and 167 ms from Singapore, which makes it the standard place for European tenants to terminate Asian and Middle Eastern routes. Inside Europe the distances are trivial, 11 ms to Amsterdam and 16 ms to London, and that is what turns placement into a cost question rather than an engineering one. At $0.283/kWh the metro is dearer than Amsterdam at $0.22 and much cheaper than London at $0.442, so a multi-metro European footprint should be assembled on price for every tier that does not need the exchange fabric here. The catalog records 12 facilities and 219 MW, 2 of them pipeline, one flagged AI-ready and none carrying a Tier III or IV designation, so density and certification filter the shortlist, not location.
