EU moves to curb energy and water for data centres
The European Union is moving to restrict the energy and water use of data centres, as the sector's rapid growth strains power grids and water supplies across the bloc. The proposal targets the booming infrastructure behind cloud computing and artificial intelligence, and is drawing debate about how far regulators should go in limiting an industry seen as key to Europe's digital economy.
Why now: Concerns over the energy and water footprint of data centres, driven by AI growth, have put the issue at the centre of EU regulatory debate.
