The NÖ Greens highlight a gap in current legislation regarding environmental assessments for data centers, which are not included in the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (UVP-G). They argue that unlike wind turbines and other infrastructure projects, data centers do not undergo mandatory evaluations despite their energy consumption.
The party's leader, Helga Krismer, emphasizes the inequity in scrutiny between energy producers and consumers. This push for regulatory change reflects growing concerns over energy consumption and land use.
