French data center policies affecting sustainability
France is a top 10 data center market globally, with most of its capacity located in the greater Paris area and hubs in Lille, Lyon, Marseille and Strasbourg. Data centers currently consume around 2-3% of the country’s grid energy — a share that is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years.
This report looks at six frameworks for data center sustainability reporting in France. It starts with a policy for tax incentives, two national energy efficiency regulations, and France’s approach to the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). Unlike many EU member states, France already had reporting rules in place prior to the EED, creating additional complexity for operators working in the country.
