Green data centers: opportunities for decarbonization
Green data centers: opportunities for decarbonization
Energy consumption by the data center industry accounts for more than 1% of the world’s power consumption and is expected to reach 8% by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The EU aims to be climate neutral by 2050, and data centers can contribute significantly to that goal. Iberia, targeted as a strategic cloud region by hyperscalers and other cloud players, has all the key factors for green data center location, providing an attractive market for investors in sustainable power-supply projects.
