ITALY Trends and Developments Contributed by: Maria Cristina Breida, Giuseppe Bovenzi, Valerio Vinci and Sonia Marlazzi, EY Società tra Avvocati
offers an early indication of where the system may be heading: towards a model in which the conditions out - lined above are no longer merely transparency bench - marks, but operative criteria for accessing procedural benefits and public incentives, shifting from monitor - ing to conditionality that the national legislature has yet to replicate at scale. For operators, investors and large energy users, the emerging regulatory landscape signals that compli - ance can no longer be understood as a matter of zoning, permitting and grid connection alone. The central message emerging from the legal frameworks examined above is that data centre growth will be supported, but on the condition that it is compatible with climate-neutrality, resource resilience and envi - ronmental sustainability. Those who integrate these parameters into their investment and design decisions early will be better placed legally, commercially and reputationally.
