The European Investment Bank (EIB) is financing more and more AI and data centre infrastructure.
But this boom comes with serious consequences for your energy bills and the environment. It is not a popular demand, and there are other priority sectors to fund: social housing, clean energy, etc.
By supporting the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure, is Europe’s self-proclaimed “Climate Bank” financing projects that could undermine the clean energy transition? And what happens when public money is used to reduce the risks of private investment?
On 10th September, Alma Kirchhoff and Lora Verheecke will discuss the growing role of European public finance in data centres and AI infrastructure, and the consequences of this investment for energy, climate and the public interest.
