Datacenter operators must win hearts and minds, not just permits
Operators must be more open with communities about their projects' resource consumption.
Schneider Electric sees no slowdown in its datacenter business, but says operators must be more open with communities about the power, water, and land their projects will consume.
As a supplier of datacenter infrastructure, Schneider Electric is well-positioned to comment on the industry’s sustainability efforts.
The company notes that datacenter operators must win the hearts and minds of local communities, rather than just focusing on obtaining permits and approvals.
