EU to require data centres to disclose energy and water efficiency
https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/eu-require-data-centres-disclose-energy-water-efficiency-2026-09-21/
"The EU wants to triple its data centre capacity over the next seven years, to support the rapid development of artificial intelligence and attempt to cut reliance on US Big Tech."
"The scheme would not impose limits on their energy and water use or require data centres to disclose their total power use."
"Data centres currently account for around 2.5% of EU electricity consumption."
