Europe told to cool its datacenter boom before water and power run short
Europe needs a policy framework that integrates water and energy efficiency if it wants to keep growing datacenter capacity to support its AI and cloud computing ambitions. This is the argument in a report, "Scale and Secure: Powering Europe's Digital Sovereignty," which asserts that progress will depend not so much on access to the right silicon as on water and energy constraints. Grundfos, the Danish firm behind the report, describes itself as…
The Danish company Grundfos is warning about the critical pressure on Europe's water and energy resources. It underlines the urgent need for Europe to regulate the massive expansion of data centres in order to preserve its vital resources.

A new Grundfos report warns that Europe's datacenter boom could strain water supplies and power grids unless regulators bake water and energy efficiency into planning, reporting, and incentives for new facilities. The Register reports: According to the report, the EU-wide server farm IT load is about 10 GW today, and is expected to rise to 35 GW by 2030 -- just four years away. These facilities account for about 3 percent of all electricity cons…
