Regulatory requirements for the operation and further development of IT infrastructures and data centers are constantly increasing. In particular, the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) and the planned amendment are raising questions for many companies regarding implementation, regulatory obligations, and the impact on existing and future data center locations.
Together with an energy law attorney from RÖDL, experts from Drees & Sommer will join representatives from industry and the healthcare sector to examine current regulatory developments, highlight legal uncertainties, and assess the practical risks.
The event provides companies that operate their own data centers with a clear overview of the current and future requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act. It highlights which regulatory requirements are relevant and what specific steps operators and company executives should take now.
The focus is on the following questions:
What requirements do the Energy Efficiency Act and its amendment impose on companies and operators?
What obligations exist regarding operator responsibility, waste heat utilization, and documentation and reporting requirements?
What are the implications for existing IT infrastructures, and where is concrete action needed?
