EU moves to curb energy and water use by data centres
Original: EU moves to curb energy and water for data centres
The European Union is moving to restrict the energy and water consumption of data centres, a sector whose rapid growth driven by cloud computing and artificial intelligence has put mounting pressure on electricity grids and water supplies. The proposal signals tighter regulation of tech infrastructure across member states, with debate focusing on how sustainability rules will affect data centre operators and Europe's digital economy.
Why now: Growing concerns over the energy and water footprint of data centres, especially with AI demand surging, have put the issue at the centre of EU policy debate.
