EU moves to curb energy and water for data centres
The European Union is advancing measures to restrict the energy and water consumption of data centres, a step aimed at limiting the environmental footprint of the fast-growing digital infrastructure sector. The proposal comes as data centre demand surges with the expansion of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, prompting debate over resource use versus digital growth.
Why now: Concerns about the huge and growing energy and water demands of data centres, especially driven by AI, have put EU regulation in the spotlight.
