EUR 2.2 bn. invested over the last 12-18 months 280+ MW under construction Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics DDI - MT Højgaard

  3. 16 factors within 4 parameters: i.e. prices, reliability, accessibility, speed, sustainability, costs, scalability, climate, political stability etc. etc. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics What is important from an investor perspective? 2 1 3 4 Nature given factors Other business factors Connectivity factors Energy factors DDI - MT Højgaard

  4. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics Most "important" in general: "Reliable power supply" and "international data connectivity" "Low energy prices" "Political stability" "Time-to-market", "abundance of energy and other resources", "competent workforce" and "natural disaster-free climate" Almost "All" seems highly important to HSDC and Cloud Proximity to costumers more important to Co-lo and Enterprise. Importance per DC segment – I/II DDI - MT Højgaard

  5. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics Importance by DC segments – II/II DDI - MT Højgaard

  6. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics Nordics vs. FLAP-D Competitive advantages: Nordics • Reliable power supply • Low energy prices • Political stability • Time-to-market • Abundance energy • Scalability FLAP-D • Int. data connectivity • Availability of competent workforce. • Taxes and duties (Dublin) DDI - MT Højgaard

  7. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics Much of importance! Strong match on energy related factors, "The time to market", political stability and space scalability. Lower score on int. data connectivity "North by HSCD/Cloud" DDI - MT Højgaard

  8. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics "North by Co-lo/Enterprise" • Shift to the "left" in importance. • Continued strong match in relation to power related aspects • Increased importance of closeness to costumers • Increased relative importance on workforce • Connectivity still important DDI - MT Højgaard

  9. Data Centre opportunities in the Nordics A Nordic Investments Outlook Investment in data centres in the Nordics (EUR bn.) 2018 prices • Construction investment could exceed EUR 4 bn. annually within the next five to seven years • Construction capacity in data centre ranging between 280-580 MW annually Assumptions: • A stable global economic outlook • Nordic cooperation and focus on continued development of framework conditions (connectivity, competent workforce etc.) Power capacity of new data centres in the Nordics (MW) DDI - MT Højgaard

  10. The Nordics and the four DC invest parameters • Low risk of natural disasters • Space scalability • Cool climate • High reliability of energy supply with some of the best-performing grids in Europe • Global leader in cost efficient green energy • Political stability • Ease of doing business/time-to-market • Availability of qualified staff comparable with other competing regions • Perceived as a little less strong • Though currently adding new fibre links • And scores well on a number of indexes* * i.e. GCI Ranking Table 2018 DDI - MT Højgaard
