Valsts prezidents Edgars Rinkēvičs apmeklē uzņēmumu SIA “Delska Latvia”.
Mākslīgā intelekta laikmetā uzvar tie, kuriem ir jauda – vai Baltijas uzņēmumi tam ir gatavi?
In a global landscape where data centers and other high-consumption projects are increasingly constrained by power shortages, the Baltic region presents a distinct advantage. Unlike many parts of the world, the Baltics currently have sufficient power capacity, allowing for development without multi-year delays. This favorable environment is enabling companies like “Delska,” a Latvian and Lithuanian data center operator, to expand their infrastructure and strengthen their regional position, according to Jauns.lv.
Globally, the availability of electricity has become a primary obstacle to the dynamic growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers, with investment-ready projects being postponed due to insufficient grid capacity. However, the existing infrastructure in the Baltics allows for a responsive approach to the increasing demand generated by AI, without structural impediments. This difference is currently defining the region’s competitiveness and creating opportunities for local operators to solidify their positions as growth is limited elsewhere by energy factors.
“Delska” is expanding its cloud platform with customizable solutions, focusing on client needs for long-term cost stability in European data centers, particularly in light of changes to VMware’s pricing and licensing policies implemented by Broadcom. The company’s strategic moves reflect a broader trend of businesses seeking reliable and cost-effective AI infrastructure.
The article highlights a shift in priorities for data center location. While proximity to markets was previously the key factor, the availability of electricity and network capacity has become the decisive resource as of 2025. The situation globally is becoming increasingly tense, but the Baltics are positioned to capitalize on this trend.
The growing importance of electricity in the data center industry is being likened to a new “gold rush,” with access to reliable power becoming a critical competitive advantage. This dynamic is particularly relevant as AI adoption accelerates and demand for data processing capabilities continues to rise.
