Energiekaufhaus AG
since 2003
A data center needs more than a plot of land. What matters is a realistic grid connection, the right zoning, fibre connectivity and a site that can be secured for decades. In Germany, such sites are scarce.
Energiekaufhaus AG, based in Berlin, identifies, assesses and secures land for data centers across Germany and internationally. Working on behalf of data center operators and energy companies, we support you from the first search brief to a signed purchase, lease or heritable building right agreement.

Demand for data center capacity is growing fast, driven by cloud services and artificial intelligence. At the same time, large and well-connected sites in established hubs such as Frankfurt am Main have become very hard to find. Operators and investors are therefore looking at new regions.
The bottleneck is usually power, not land. A site without a realistic prospect of sufficient grid capacity is of no use for a data center. That is why we assess the grid situation from day one.
You tell us what you need: region, plot size, power demand and timeline. We identify suitable sites, including off-market land.
We screen each site for grid situation, zoning, access, fibre and exclusion criteria, and give you a clear view of which sites are worth pursuing.
We approach owners, municipalities and companies directly and negotiate terms for purchase, lease, heritable building rights (Erbbaurecht) or option agreements.
We support the contractual securing of the site and coordinate legal, technical and commercial due diligence.
On request, we help you find financing partners for land and project.
If you own a larger commercial or industrial site, a former power plant or industrial location, or land close to a substation, get in touch. We will assess confidentially whether your site is of interest to data center operators and connect you with suitable buyers or tenants.
It depends on the project. Small edge data centers may need only a few thousand square metres, while large cloud or AI campuses often require several hectares. We tailor the search to your specific space and power requirements.
Data centers consume large amounts of power around the clock. Whether and when the grid operator can provide the required capacity determines feasibility, and lead times for large connections can be several years. Grid capacity should therefore be the starting point of any site search.
Both are possible. For long-term use, heritable building rights (Erbbaurecht) are also common in Germany. Sites are often first secured through an option agreement until permits and grid connection are confirmed.
Yes. We support German and international operators, developers and investors looking for sites in Germany.
All of Germany, as well as other countries, depending on your search brief.
For data center operators and energy companies, we prepare an individual proposal based on the scope and duration of the search mandate.
