Muraayadaha AI ee cusub ee Australia waxay ka maqnaanayaan xeerarka cusub ee dowladda
Dowladda federaalka Australia waxay diyaarinaysaa xeerar cusub oo lagu xakameynayo istiraatiijiyadda biyaha iyo kheyraadka ee muraayadaha AI, laakiin 27 muraayadood oo la ansixiyay bishii July ee 2026 ayaa laga yaabaa inay ka maqnaadaan xeerarkaas sababtoo ah xeerarka cusub ma ahan kuwo dib-u-eegis ah.

Australia's proposed national standards for data centre energy and water use will not apply to dozens of projects already approved but not yet built, according to an ABC analysis of planning records and company documents.
A New Generation of Power-Hungry Facilities
ABC analysis of planning records and company documents has revealed this new generation of data centres will be significantly bigger and power hungrier than existing ones. The combined capacity of the approved, but unbuilt, 27 data centres is at least 3.38 gigawatts, based on each company's statements of computing power and the state planning-approved energy capacity.
Australia had 162 data centres with a combined IT capacity of 1.5 gigawatts as of March of this year. The proposed national standards are intended to address energy, water and land-use impacts of large data centres, but state and territory governments will retain their planning responsibilities.
Government Says Rules Won't Apply to Existing Approvals
The prime minister said the government would pass a law in early 2027 setting rules to force data centres to minimise water use and maximise energy efficiency. The prime minister later told ABC Radio Sydney the rules would not apply to projects already approved or under construction.
You can't retrofit. But as well, many of the centres which are under construction tend to be smaller ones, the prime minister said. A Department of Industry, Science and Resources spokesperson said Australia had far fewer large data centres built and in construction than the United States, citing research from S&P Global Ratings.
Calls for a Moratorium on New Builds
Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has been leading calls for a ban on data centre construction until the government establishes minimum standards. In the absence of a moratorium on building and approving new data centres, then these rules must be retrospective because otherwise they're worthless, she said.
Data Centres Australia chief Belinda Dennett said her industry was already taking steps to meet the government's expectations around power and water use. Members will continue to meet those requirements until the new rules are in force, but they cannot comply with something that isn't yet established or even articulated, she said.
