The European Commission proposed a rating scheme for data centers over 500 kW to increase transparency on energy and water use, promote resource efficiency, and support integration with Europe's energy system amid plans to triple data center capacity by 2030.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

New EU rules will soon rank data centers by their energy and water use, forcing you to prove sustainability to keep market access. Start mapping how your operations can shift power use and reuse heat before ratings roll out next year.
