The planned data center in Grugliasco, requiring €4 billion in investments and expected to generate 200 jobs, has sparked local debate. Mayor Emanuele Gaito acknowledges the need for infrastructure to support AI but notes that some councilors seek clarity on the project's implications.
The facility will consume approximately 160 megawatt-hours, equating to the energy usage of Alessandria, while promising a connection to the Piossasco substation to avoid impacting Grugliasco's energy supply. The project raises concerns over energy demands and environmental regulations, as municipalities like Settimo introduce stricter measures for data centers. The balance between industrial growth and ecological considerations remains a contentious issue in the Piedmont region.
