Public meeting sparks debate over energy demands of new data centre

A proposed data centre in Holbæk, Denmark, which would consume six times more electricity than the entire municipality currently uses, has raised concerns among local residents, reports DR. The issue was addressed for the first time at a public meeting, though no final decisions have yet been made.

The project’s scale has prompted questions about its impact on local energy infrastructure and sustainability. While no official plans have been approved, the meeting marked the first public discussion of the data centre’s potential effects on the community.
