România, încă pe radarul investitorilor în centre de date. George Topalov, Vertiv: „Depinde însă de disponibilitatea infrastructurii rețelei electrice” - Economica.net

The Romanian data center market, though smaller than Western Europe hubs, is projected to grow by about 20% annually, driven by cloud services, public sector digitalization, and AI development. The installed power is expected to rise significantly by 2031, with public sector initiatives like the Government Cloud project contributing to demand. While international investors show interest in large-scale projects, actual investments depend on infrastructure readiness, particularly energy access. AI's growth poses challenges for physical infrastructure, requiring higher power and cooling capacities. The shift towards liquid cooling technologies is anticipated, alongside a need for skilled professionals in the IT sector.
