A large AWS‑type hyperscale site in Europe, when fully built out at around 100 MW, would correspond to on the order of 100,000 European households’ annual electricity use.
In practice, European strategies or regional plans that cite “100,000 homes” usually frame this as something to be achieved over roughly a decade.
AWS says it can develop and build a data center itself in about two years, but in Europe the limiting factor is often the grid connection, which can take up to seven years in some markets.
