The State Council gives the green light to the data center decree and it could be approved before 29-N

The Council of State has approved the government's decree on data centers, allowing it to be passed before the November 29 elections. This decision counters legal challenges from energy and tech sectors regarding state competencies and procedural issues. The unanimous ruling supports the government's authority to regulate digital infrastructures, emphasizing the need for energy efficiency and digital sovereignty. However, the government must address specific recommendations from the Council to mitigate potential judicial disputes. Key modifications include enhancing impact assessments and clarifying regulatory frameworks. The Ministry of Ecological Transition aims to finalize the decree promptly to meet the electoral timeline.
