DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Digital Realty's plan to construct a new data center in Bouc-Bel-Air, located in a former Décathlon warehouse, has faced significant opposition from local associations and environmental groups concerned about its environmental impact. Despite these objections, the municipal council approved the project, which will host 24,000 servers to meet rising data storage demands, with energy consumption projected to match that of a city of 117,000 residents.
