A new policy permitting the expansion of data centres has sparked fears that the electricity required will predominantly come from fossil fuel sources. As the energy regulator proposes to lift restrictions on this sector, there is significant pressure from industry leaders and government to allow growth. The potential construction of gas and oil power plants to supply these energy-hungry operations poses a threat to ongoing efforts to shift towards renewable energy solutions in the region.
The recent proposal from the energy regulator, aimed at easing restrictions on data centre expansion, raises concerns that new power plants may predominantly rely on fossil fuels for energy.
As the data centre industry seeks to grow, the potential shift towards gas and oil power plants could undermine efforts to transition towards renewable energy sources.
