澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯在澳大利亚商业理事会年度晚宴上宣布了一项新的国家规则,明确禁止未来将数据中心建设在住宅、学校或优质农田附近 1。该新规同时要求开发商向电网增加超过其消耗的可再生能源,并减少用水 1。目前,澳大利亚境内已有162个正在运营的数据中心,另有90个已提议 1。
以位于墨尔本West Footscray郊区的NextDC M3设施为例,该数据中心占地10公顷,24小时消耗225兆瓦电力,并计划到2027年将规模翻倍 1。由于新规不溯及既往,已居住在数据中心附近的居民依然面临诸多困境 1。居民肖恩·布朗(Sean Brown)和肯德尔·库姆斯(Kendal Coombs)的住所分别距离该数据中心仅300米和约200米 1。他们表示,自己长期遭受噪音、停电、交通和健康风险的困扰,并呼吁政府提供补偿和搬迁支持 1。
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is scheduled to announce new national regulations at the Australian Business Council's annual dinner, which will ban the construction of future data centers near residential areas, schools, and prime agricultural land 1. Under these new rules, developers will be required to contribute more renewable energy to the grid than their facilities consume and must minimize water usage 1. Australia currently operates 162 data centers, with an additional 90 facilities proposed 1.
Despite the new restrictions, residents living near existing data centers point out that the regulations are not retrospective, meaning they continue to suffer from noise, power outages, traffic, and health risks 1. The NextDC M3 facility in the Melbourne suburb of West Footscray plans to double its size by 2027 across a 10-hectare site while consuming 225MW of power continuously 1. Resident Sean Brown lives just 300 meters from the data center, while Kendal Coombs resides approximately 200 meters away 1. These affected residents are urging the government to offer compensation and support for relocation 1.
