80% of data center energy must be renewable
El Gobierno impulsa una nueva normativa que abogará también por la soberanía del dato. Leer
The Spanish government is working on regulations for the data center sector, which is expected to grow rapidly in the country. The proposed rules will require data centers to source 80% of their energy from renewable sources, with the energy being generated at the same time as it is consumed. The regulations will also cover sustainability, resilience, and digital sovereignty, including requirements for data centers to be established in the European Union and for data to be stored within the EU.
Non-compliance will result in financial penalties and potentially even loss of access to the electricity grid.
