Data center growth raises calls for responsible leadership

Data Center Review published an opinion article arguing that data center operators must scale responsibly as AI-driven demand accelerates.

• The article says nearly 100GW of new data centers will be developed between 2026 and 2030, doubling global capacity, according to JLL.
• It also references the European Commission’s plans for AI gigafactories and a proposed Cloud and AI Development Act, plus IEA projections that data center electricity use could rise to 945 TWh by 2030.
• This is commentary and analysis rather than a first-time corporate announcement; it cites external reports and policy plans and links to a fuller opinion piece by the author.
