- Germany's AI Data Center Push Collides With EU Climate Rules
WIRED reports that the German government's plan to double the country's data center fleet and quadruple AI compute by 2030 is running into its climate commitments, including the EU's target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 55 percent by the end of the decade. The previous administration's 2023 Energy Efficiency Act required new data centers to recycle part of their waste heat, ideally into municipal heating systems, but in June Berlin walked the rules back a month before they were due to take effect. Under an amended bill due before parliament imminently, operators would only have to assess whether heat reuse is technically and economically feasible, not carry it out.
