For the first time, EU primary legislation names data centres as a sector required to report energy use, notify district heating operators of available waste heat, and assess heat-recovery feasibility for new builds. This 2026 guide walks through every Article 26 obligation under the recast Energy Efficiency Directive (EED 2023/1791) and shows how Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden have each transposed those obligations into national law — including binding targets

Germany's Energieeffizienzgesetz (EnEfG) sets the strictest data-centre efficiency targets in Europe — and the deadlines start in 2025. This 25-page guide walks through every obligation that applies to data centre operators, with direct paragraph references to the Act as published (BGBl. 2023 I Nr. 309), the exact PUE and ERF targets you need to hit, the energy management system rules taking effect on 1 July 2025, and the Anlage 3 reporting deadlines.
