Business leaders issue strong warning against Centre Party's U-turn on data centres
Published
The business community has issued a strong warning against the Centre Party's changed position on data centres. The warning has drawn attention in the debate over digital infrastructure in Norway.
Data centres are large facilities with many servers that store and process data for businesses and public institutions. In Norway, such centres have become increasingly important, partly because the country has access to renewable energy and a cooler climate, which can make operations easier.
Critics in the business community believe that a shift in policy could create uncertainty for investments and for companies that depend on stable framework conditions. In their view, clear and predictable rules are important for retaining existing projects and attracting new ones.
It is currently unclear what consequences the change will have in practice. The debate over data centres and the use of energy continues, and several actors are waiting to see how the parties will follow up on the issue in the coming period.
