In plain language
- The Walloon Parliament calls on the government to strictly regulate new and expanding data centres, focusing on their water, electricity, and land use.
- This mainly affects tech companies, network operators, farmers, and residents living near potential project sites.
- Your living environment and natural resources gain better protection against pollution and water scarcity, while extra energy costs will not be shifted onto your bill.
