EU moves to curb energy and water for data centres
The European Union is moving to limit the energy and water consumption of data centres, a sector whose rapid growth driven by cloud computing and artificial intelligence has raised concerns over its environmental footprint. The proposal would impose new restrictions or efficiency requirements on operators across member states, and is drawing attention among technology and energy commentators.
Why now: Data centre resource use has become a pressing policy issue as AI demand drives rapid growth in energy and water consumption.
