New South Wales (NSW) will check new datacentre plans fast. They will check them in 75 days. This is only if the plans meet good standards. The standards are about energy, water, and nature. A datacentre is a big building. It holds many computers. These computers store data. Data is information on computers.
Many companies put money into NSW datacentres. The money grew by 75 percent every year for three years. This money helped NSW. It helped NSW stay out of a bad economy. Now companies must follow six rules. The rules say companies must not cost more money to people. The rules say companies must help train workers too.
Companies like CDC and AirTrunk like the new rules. The NSW treasurer is Daniel Mookhey. He says this is a good plan. He says NSW wants to be the best place for business. The plan puts the AI office in the cabinet office. AI is short for artificial intelligence. This means smart computer systems. Some people want to stop new datacentres. They say datacentres use too much power and water.
