Data centers fear new law will limit their competitiveness
SpainDC, Ametic and Aelec agree on the need for the regulations being worked on to provide legal certainty and avoid the flight of investments to other European countries.
Spain's data centre industry associations, including SpainDC, Ametic, and Aelec, have expressed concerns about the government's proposed regulations for the sector. The regulations aim to make data centres "green" by requiring 80% of their energy consumption to come from renewable sources. The associations agree with the objectives but warn that the regulations must be proportionate, technically viable, and aligned with EU policies to avoid deterring investments.
They stress the need for legal certainty and competitiveness to prevent investment from fleeing to other European countries.
