Most data centers refusing to disclose water and electricity use
Original: Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use
A Dutch report finds most data centers are declining to reveal how much water and electricity they consume, raising concerns about the industry's environmental footprint as facilities expand to meet growing AI and cloud demand. Critics and local officials are pushing for mandatory transparency rules, arguing that secretive resource use makes it impossible to assess the sector's true impact on power grids and water supplies.
Why now: Data centers' rapid growth for AI and cloud services is intensifying scrutiny of their environmental impact, and their refusal to share resource figures fuels public concern.
