From September 2026, new data-centre projects are checked for energy efficiency and infrastructure capacity before approval.
- 01The problem
Data centres use a lot of power and water, and households and factories share the same grid.
- 02The fix
The Data Centre Task Force, chaired by YB Ng, screens new projects for efficiency and capacity.
- 03The proof
Screening applies to new data-centre projects from September 2026.
- 04What's next
Report how many projects are screened, and what changes, once the first cycle completes.
