Green Data Centre Roadmap & DC Call-for-Application (DC-CFA)
roadmapenergy efficiency
In force · effective 2024
New capacity awarded to best-in-class efficient/green DCs; tropical-climate PUE target of <=1.3 and high energy efficiency standards.
New capacity is allocated competitively to the most efficient and greenest bids (tropical PUE target ≤1.3); a new site needs an allocation before it can be built.
Framework/metrics (incl. PUE) for green DC certification and energy-management systems.
Typical effect of this kind of measure: Sets efficiency rules a data center must meet, e.g. a PUE ceiling or mandatory KPI reporting. Can force cooling/design changes and rule out inefficient builds.
Subsidies/support for new regional data centres and related power/network infrastructure.
Lowers the cost of building outside the Tokyo/Osaka corridor: government subsidies support new regional data centres (e.g. Hokkaido, Kyushu) and related power/network links.
