#DataCentres #electricity use is growing a proportion of national usage in a number of states leading #Ireland, #Germany, #Singapore & #China to explore curbs on permissions to build new Data Centres....
Given their need for #energy, but also their relative footloose status, as some states start to constrain the siting of data centres in-country for #environmental & energy reasons, we can expect to see some states seeing this as an opportunity....
Data Centres in English Freeports anyone?
