AI UPDATE

Navigating New Data Center Regulations for Sustainability and Resilience

Governments worldwide are enacting stringent regulations to enhance the sustainability and resilience of data centers, compelling operators to adopt new processes and meet evolving requirements.

The European Union’s updated Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), aimed at curbing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, mandates annual reporting of energy and water usage by data center owners in its 27 member states. The first compliance deadline arrived in mid-September this year.

Similarly, the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), passed in late 2022, focuses on bolstering financial institutions' cyber resilience. Starting January 2025, organizations must implement and test business continuity plans, conduct penetration tests and vulnerability scans, and swiftly remediate issues—facing fines for noncompliance with reporting obligations.

“Governments want better visibility into data center energy consumption, and at the same time, IT operations are essential to our economy and society. A data center outage would have severe repercussions, so they’re taking steps to prevent that,” explained Jay Dietrich, research director of sustainability at the Uptime Institute.
