The European Commission is working on a number of data centre initiatives including the Data Centre Energy Efficiency Package alongside the Strategic Roadmap on Digitalisation and AI for the Energy Sector, aiming at making data centres carbon-neutral by 2030. 

  • Alignment with other EU policies 

  • How can the EU ensure that regulatory burdens don’t push investment outside of Europe? 

  • What is a realistic PUE / energy reuse target for new data centres in 2026
