EU has adopted several regulatory instruments, and recently announced that in Q1 2026 it will propose a new Data Centre Energy Efficiency Package alongside the Strategic Roadmap on Digitalisation and AI for the Energy Sector, aiming at making data centres carbon-neutral by 2030. 

This session will discuss: 

• Alignment with other EU policies 

• How can the EU ensure that regulatory burdens don’t push investment outside of Europe? 

• What is a realistic PUE / energy reuse target for new data centres in 2026
