The Left Bloc presented proposals to the Government to establish limits on data centers in Portugal. The party considers that the lack of public discussion on this matter is concerning for democracy.
The party promotes a public hearing this Friday, in Parliament, to debate the topic. The objective is to open dialogue about the regulation of data centers in the country.
Data centers have been proliferating in Portugal, particularly in the Greater Lisbon area, which raises questions about energy consumption, water usage, and environmental impact. This expansion has been carried out without much public debate, according to the Left Bloc.
The party believes that a clear regulatory framework is needed that establishes limits and conditions for the installation and operation of these centers, ensuring greater transparency and citizen participation in decisions.
