Límite a centros de datos
Ribera avala limitar el consumo eléctrico de los centros de datos para evitar subidas de la luz
Anonymous
European Commission Vice President Teresa Ribera backs limiting electricity use by data centers to prevent sharp increases in power prices, according to Diario de Mallorca. Ribera is also pushing a "fundamental debate" on imposing a special tax on oil companies to fund climate change efforts.
Why Data Centers Are Straining Europe's Power Grid
Data centers consume massive amounts of electricity to run servers and keep equipment cool. As artificial intelligence and cloud computing expand, these facilities demand more power each year. This surge is driving up electricity prices across Europe, hitting households and businesses hard, according to El Periódico de Extremadura.
Ribera's Plan to Cap Data Center Power Consumption
Ribera supports setting limits on how much electricity data centers can use. The goal is to control power demand and keep electricity prices stable. By restricting consumption at these massive facilities, she argues Europe can protect energy prices for regular consumers, El Periódico de Aragón reports.
A Special Tax on Oil Companies to Fund Climate Action
Ribera wants Europe to debate imposing a new tax on oil and gas companies. The money would fund climate change programs and the energy transition away from fossil fuels. She calls this a "fundamental debate" that Europe must have, according to El Periódico Mediterráneo.
Broader European Energy Policy Under Pressure
Europe faces a delicate balance: supporting new industries like AI and tech while keeping power affordable for citizens. Data centers generate economic growth but drain energy resources. Ribera's proposals aim to manage this tension through consumption caps and revenue from oil company taxes to fund green energy, La Provincia notes.
