澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯计划在周三的全国内阁会议上就数据中心联邦监管规则达成协议 1。新规要求数据中心避免推高电价,包括将可再生能源引入电网以覆盖其电力需求,承担自身连接成本并减少用水,且选址需远离学校和住宅区 1。由于新规不具追溯力,在明年立法通过前获批的项目仅受现有州或领地法律约束 1。开发商可能赶在立法通过前抢批项目以规避新规 1。
澳大利亚能源市场运营商(Aemo)报告称目前有225个数据中心处于开发阶段 1。数据中心电力需求预计到2036年将从5太瓦时增长至34太瓦时 1。自Aemo 2025年报告以来,超过40%的数据中心项目已退出列表或状态倒退 1。新南威尔士州政府正在考虑一个90MW数据中心项目(Project Mars),距悉尼CBD约9公里,位于Lane Cove River附近 1。Project Mars为三层建筑,占地22,000平方米,计划使用现有电力,每日从Sydney Water取水3.5ML,建筑上将安装200kW太阳能电池板 1。
这引发了社区和环保团体呼吁暂停审批 1。澳大利亚绿党此前已呼吁在新规出台前暂停审批 1。Lane Cove Responsible Planning团体代表Sasha Titchkosky呼吁政府在新区实施审批暂停令 1。墨尔本大学城市规划研究员Crystal Legacy教授警告州政府若在新规生效前快速审批将面临政治风险 1。
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is scheduled to reach an agreement with the national cabinet on Wednesday regarding federal regulatory rules for data centres 1. The upcoming regulations will mandate that data centres avoid driving up electricity prices, which includes bringing renewable energy into the grid to cover their power needs, bearing their own connection costs, reducing water usage, and locating away from schools and residential areas 1. Because these new rules will not be retrospective, projects approved before the legislation passes next year will only be subject to existing state or territory laws 1. Consequently, developers might rush to secure approvals before the legislation is enacted, prompting calls from community and environmental groups for a moratorium on approvals 1. According to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), there are currently 225 data centres in the development pipeline, with power demand projected to surge from 5 terawatt-hours to 34 terawatt-hours by 2036 1. However, since the AEMO 2025 report, more than 40% of data centre projects have either been removed from the list or seen their status regress 1.
Meanwhile, the New South Wales government is considering Project Mars, a 90-megawatt data centre located approximately 9 kilometres from the Sydney CBD near the Lane Cove River 1. The proposed three-storey facility will cover 22,000 square metres, utilise existing power, draw 3.5 megalitres of water daily from Sydney Water, and feature 200 kilowatts of solar panels on its roof 1. In response to such developments, Sasha Titchkosky, a representative for the Lane Cove Responsible Planning group, has urged the government to implement an approval moratorium in new areas 1. Furthermore, the Australian Greens have previously called for a pause on approvals before the new regulations are introduced 1. Highlighting the potential consequences, University of Melbourne urban planning researcher Professor Crystal Legacy warned that state governments face political risks if they fast-track approvals before the new rules take effect 1.
