Permitting

The speed with which the country’s digitization is evolving requires certain processes and timeframes for the construction, startup and operation of data centers. The current regulatory framework does not cover Data Centers as a specific type of construction (unlike, for example, Logistics). This is why there is a need to clearly define the relevant regulations and technical guidelines. Moreover, due to the strong growth of the sector and the number and concentration of Data Centers in certain areas (e.g., the Po Valley), the projects are increasingly the focus of social and environmental attention.
