Greece proposes strict new data centre rules, forcing 60 percent renewable power and heavy financial guarantees
A draft Greek law introduced in mid October would require new data centres to source at least 60 percent of annual electricity from renewables, pay full grid upgrade costs and post large bank guarantees. The measures aim to curb speculative applications, protect grid stability and steer cloud and AI investments toward low carbon power, but they raise questions for operators and AI research projects that rely on large, flexible compute.
