EU plans an energy rating for data centres
Silicon Republic· 22 SepThe European Commission proposed a common energy rating scheme for data centres above 500kW. The EU wants to triple its data centre capacity in five to seven years for AI and digital sovereignty, and says data centres could use 114TWh a year by 2030, about 3% of its electricity, up from 68TWh in 2024. The first labels are expected in 2027.
- When you choose a cloud or hosting provider, ask where your data sits and what the provider reports on energy use.
- Have your say: the Commission's consultation on minimum performance standards for data centres runs until 14 December.
