澳大利亚总理Anthony Albanese在全国领导人会议上对新AI数据中心的能源政策进行了调整1。联邦政府原计划强制新数据中心使用可再生能源，但遭到Queensland和Northern Territory的反对，最终同意改为更灵活的方案，允许各州根据自身情况选择电力来源1。
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas表示："所有州领导人同意可再生能源将是澳大利亚未来数据中心的主要能源形式"1。尽管如此，这一妥协方案反映出各州在能源政策上的明显分歧。联邦政府计划在2026年底前推出相关立法，目标为2027年初通过1。
Sydney University能源专家Gregor Verbic指出，澳大利亚国家电网面临严峻挑战1。他警告称，多个燃煤电厂即将关闭，"这将留下巨大的发电能力缺口，我们新增发电能力的速度不够快"1。这一现实困境进一步复杂化了数据中心能源供应的规划。
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has backed away from requiring new artificial intelligence data centres to exclusively use renewable energy, adopting a more flexible framework instead.1 The reversal came after Queensland and Northern Territory refused to endorse mandatory renewable energy standards at the national leaders' conference.1 Under the revised approach, individual states will now have discretion to determine their own power sources for data centre projects.1
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas stated that "all state leaders agreed that renewable energy will be the dominant source of power for Australia's future data centres," signalling a compromise position that stops short of imposing a blanket requirement.1 Despite the policy shift, experts warn of mounting pressures on the energy system. Gregor Verbic, an energy specialist at Sydney University, cautioned that the national grid faces multiple coal-fired power station closures, which "will leave a massive gap in generation capacity, and we're not adding new generation capacity fast enough."1
The federal government plans to introduce legislation by the end of 2026, with the aim of passing it by early 2027.1
