Lex Coors, chair of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact (CNDCP) board, discusses the organisation’s paper highlighting some areas of concern with the European Commission’s proposal for a sustainability rating scheme for Europe’s data centres. Whilst the Pact has supported the concept and the drafting of the proposal throughout, it believes that in key areas its advice and insight has not been clearly heard. Several areas in particular give cause for concern; the unintended consequences of which could damage Europe’s competition and growth agendas in the digital era.

Bill Tesarek, President of Alsay, explains that, as Texas accelerates its position as a hub for AI infrastructure, a less visible constraint is beginning to surface: water availability may become the limiting factor for future growth. While most attention remains on power and grid capacity, operators inside water infrastructure systems are seeing early signals that demand tied to AI is scaling faster than the systems designed to support it.

Jake Bush, RLB Head of Supply Chain and Procurement, discusses the findings of the company’s latest data centre trends report, which finds the industry at the beginning of a new infrastructure cycle after a year of recalibration, but success will be determined less by demand and more by the ability to deliver at scale. Jake explains that the future of Europe’s data centre expansion is not dependent on demand, but whether there is the ability to deliver, with structural challenges to the next wave of digital infrastructure including limited access to power, permitting delays and renewed pressure on materials, equipment and specialist labour.

Brad Johnson, Director, Industry Executive for Electric Utilities at Bentley Systems, explains how smart data centre developers are already recognising that real engineering value lives beyond the fence line. Siting decisions, grid interconnection, renewable energy access, road networks, water supply, and substation constraints determine whether a billion-dollar investment performs or fails. Communities hold equal power in that equation - projects are stalling because developers skipped the social license conversation. Happily, as Brad highlights, the engineering intelligence to get this right already exists - the industry needs to use it.

Craig Wentworth, Research Director at TechMarketView, discusses the key findings of the company’s new report, “AI data centres and energy responsibility: Who really pays for intelligence at scale?”, which highlights how AI infrastructure is increasing pressure on local energy systems and why responsibility for its environmental impact must be shared across hyperscalers, enterprises, and policymakers. Craig looks at the operational and policy risks of AI infrastructure growth, including local grid strain and strategic prioritisation at a national level and explains how enterprise IT leaders can embed sustainability into AI adoption, from workload architecture to deployment planning.
