Mr. Jerry MacEvilly:

In terms of the COP negotiations, the short answer is probably not. We have to remember, however, and this perhaps often gets lost in the media commentary, the reason we are interested in the data centre issue is the demand and pressure it is putting on our energy system and climate targets. Other sectors right across the world are also raising this demand issue and are essentially risking a lock-in to carbon emissions. It is not as if we are looking for an exclusive focus on data centres.
