DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Lombardy Region is introducing new legislation to regulate data center development, proposed by the Democratic Party, which emphasizes sustainable practices and clear localization guidelines. The law aims to promote the reuse of disused areas, limit land consumption, and protect agricultural zones, while establishing standards for energy efficiency and environmental impact. It also includes a streamlined authorization process, a public registry, and a monitoring observatory to ensure alignment with regional development goals.
