Description (English)
A data centre that started or starts operation before 1 July 2026 must be built and operated so as to achieve a power usage effectiveness of 1.5 or below from 1 July 2027. Power usage effectiveness is defined in Section 3 as the ratio of the annual energy demand of the entire data centre to the energy demand of the information technology, within the meaning of DIN EN 50600-4-2. This is the first of two steps; from 1 July 2030 the stricter value of 1.3 applies and is recorded as a separate obligation.
Description (German)
Ein Rechenzentrum, das vor dem 1. Juli 2026 den Betrieb aufgenommen hat oder aufnimmt, ist so zu errichten und zu betreiben, dass es ab dem 1. Juli 2027 eine Energieverbrauchseffektivität von kleiner oder gleich 1,5 erreicht. Die Energieverbrauchseffektivität ist nach § 3 das Verhältnis des jährlichen Energiebedarfs des gesamten Rechenzentrums zum Energiebedarf der Informationstechnik im Sinne der DIN EN 50600-4-2. Dies ist die erste von zwei Stufen; ab dem 1. Juli 2030 gilt der strengere Wert von 1,3, der als eigene Pflicht geführt wird.
