Brussels proposes a common label to assess the energy and water consumption of data centers
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported10m ago
The European Commission has proposed the creation of a common classification system and rating label to evaluate and measure the electricity and water consumption of data centers across the European Union. Announced on a Monday, the initiative aims to increase transparency regarding the resource usage of these facilities.
In addition to tracking energy and water consumption, the proposed framework seeks to measure the broader impact that data centers have on the local electrical grid. The measure comes in response to a sharp increase in overall energy demand associated with the sector.
