Minister De Jonge of Spatial Planning does not like the Zeewolde data center – IT Pro – News

Energy is not the only factor that plays a role, because in terms of investments there is a chance in the Netherlands that these data centers can run cleaner with, among other things, solar panels, wind energy and the transport of residual heat. We can also quite easily demand those investments from the operator to issue a permit, otherwise no data center. We have also seen this approach in other companies and real estate, and that is a very good way to promote sustainability as an intrinsic condition. But that has been completely omitted here, why no one knows so far.

The main point here is that the destination is chosen under very strange circumstances, without the involvement of residents, which quickly brings to mind corruption. Above that, the negotiations are just very badly arranged. Only a data center with a handful of jobs and a high energy consumption is not what people are waiting for. If Meta sets up a number of offices opposite that, each with 2 to 3 thousand jobs, it will be much easier to account for the Dutch prosperity at the end of the bill. What has happened here is that during the negotiations, only the (local) administrative level has looked at personal gain, under not entirely pure constructions, and not at representing what is of value to Dutch citizens.

If you read previous posts, you just see that this is not pure. You do not want this in the Netherlands in the current way it went. news: Under pressure from Facebook, the government arranged priority over the power grid
