A new law in Norway now requires all data centers based in the country to register officially and provide details about their ownership, management, and offered digital services. With this groundbreaking move, Norway becomes the initial European country to institute such an extensive regulatory system for data centers.
The law intends to give Norwegian local authorities a clearer picture of data centers within their jurisdictions, empowering them to make well-informed approvals or denials based on this information. Minister Terje Aasland stressed that the government aims to deter businesses solely focused on leveraging Norway’s affordable energy for their operations.
