he European Union is preparing a package of measures to improve data centres’ energy savings, the bloc’s energy commissioner said on Thursday.

“I will propose a data centre energy efficiency package,” EU energy commissioner Dan Jorgensen told a conference in Brussels, without providing further details.

Data centres account for 3% of EU electricity demand, but their consumption is expected to increase rapidly this decade due to the expansion of artificial intelligence.
