Though an acceleration of Italian data centre deployment will tend to increase national electricity demand and support power prices, Giulio Troncarelli, CEO of the energy consultancy firm Energy of Things, told ICIS that data centers have the potential of reducing energy consumption and acting as “drivers of the energy transition.”
An Italian market regulatory specialist was less optimistic about the decree's chances of encouraging data centre outbuild outside of the north of Italy, telling ICIS that “data centres will continue to try and situate themselves close to customer demand and network cables, both of which are concentrated in the north.”
REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION The draft Energy Decree, which was seen by ICIS, states that “it is necessary to ensure a uniform distribution of data centres across the country, including in the southern regions.” Grid connection requests by data centre projects are currently concentrated in the north of Italy.
