Netherlands Amsterdam Municipal Establishment Decision (Vestigingsbesluit) 2025

Netherlands Amsterdam Municipal Establishment Decision (Vestigingsbesluit) 2025 has been enacted.

In April 2025, the Municipality of Amsterdam formally decided to allow no new data centers or expansions within city limits until at least 2030, citing scarce grid capacity and land constraints. The decision follows an earlier December 2023 round of municipal restrictions and compounds the national hyperscale ban, effectively freezing most large-scale digital infrastructure growth in Amsterdam's core market.
