Why prices sit where they do

Digital Realty is the only operator disclosed in Portugal, with a single facility: LIS1 in Carnaxide, just outside Lisbon, which the operator markets as "Europe's Atlantic gateway" for low-latency connectivity to the Americas and West Africa. The roughly 1,700 sqm, carrier-neutral site runs N+1 redundancy on both UPS and cooling; no compliance certifications, renewable-energy share, IT power capacity or year-opened date are published on the operator's page. Coverage here reflects one disclosed site in a market Digital Realty is still building out, not the full Lisbon colocation scene. Business electricity runs $0.176/kWh (GlobalPetrolPrices, Dec 2025), above neighbouring Spain's $0.134/kWh despite a similarly hydro- and wind-heavy grid — Portugal closed its last coal plant in 2021, and higher network costs on its smaller grid keep commercial rates elevated.
