And bring your own energy too?

The Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition opened public consultation on a draft decree establishing sustainability requirements for data centers, including the requirement that 80% of consumption be covered by renewable sources (additionally) and that consumed energy be backed by renewables generated in the same hour (hourly matching). This approach, also adopted by Ireland, contrasts with the American Bring Your Own Generation model, which is technology-neutral. Portugal already has legislation on energy transparency for data centers (Decree-Law 84/2024) and renewable self-consumption schemes, but does not enshrine BYOE policies. Europe faces the challenge of balancing decarbonization and energy security with attracting investment in digital infrastructure.
