米兰的数据中心能力在五年内将增长10倍, 达到2千兆瓦, Milan’s data center capacity to surge tenfold to 2 GW in five years, fueled by AI demand and new energy projects.

A2A CEO Renato Mazzoncini指出, 米兰数据中心的能力预计将在五年内增长十倍, Milan’s data centre capacity is projected to grow tenfold to about two gigawatts within five years, driven by AI infrastructure demand, according to A2A CEO Renato Mazzoncini. 从目前的200兆瓦扩大,将把新的设施与高压电网或发电厂连接起来,减轻对当地网络的压力。 The expansion, from current 200 megawatts, will connect new facilities to high-voltage grids or power plants, easing pressure on local networks. 区域当局正在推进三个以上千兆瓦的新热电和可再生能源能力,以支持这一激增。 Regional authorities are advancing over three gigawatts of new thermoelectric and renewable energy capacity to support the surge. 尽管意大利的电力成本较高,但开发商仍然感兴趣,因为欧洲能源价格趋同,与意大利第三大水电公司A2A等公用事业长期签订电力合同,而A2A是意大利第三大公用事业,在伦巴迪也是最大的公用事业。 Despite higher electricity costs in Italy, developers remain interested due to converging European energy prices and long-term power contracts with utilities like A2A, Italy’s third-largest utility and largest in Lombardy.
