Russia to Create Unified Data Center Registry
The system will help assess power demand across data centers
Russia plans to create a unified registry of data centers that will consolidate technical and operational data on facilities nationwide, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at a meeting on data center energy supply. He noted that the registry will help assess electricity demand and streamline issues related to grid connections.
Reassessing AI-Driven Demand
Novak also said there has been a surge in applications for connecting data centers in the central region, underscoring the need to evaluate how to meet rising electricity demand.
Regional authorities and utility companies have been tasked with analyzing both existing and planned data centers, developing connection mechanisms, and revising regional development plans alongside approaches to proactively building engineering infrastructure.
