EU rules to help data centers reduce energy waste

10 April 2026, 08:18

The electricity consumption of larger data centers needs to be made more efficient. EU-level rules are a help. The data center industry is developing rapidly, and it is important that technology, needs and rules go hand in hand, says Isabelle Kemlin at RISE.

Isabelle was interviewed for an article in the magazine Aktuella byggen by byggnyheter.se.
