Understanding EU EED Data-Centre Reporting

Under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EU) 2023/1791 Article 12 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364, data centres with an installed IT power at or above 500 kW must report a defined set of efficiency and sustainability metrics to the European database each year. This pack computes those metrics from your energy, water, renewable and reused-heat figures, and flags whether your facility is in scope.

Key takeaways

  • Reporting is mandatory for data centres at or above 500 kW installed IT power.
  • The core metrics are PUE, WUE, ERF and REF, reported alongside installed IT power and total energy use.
  • Reporting is annual, to the EU database established under the Delegated Regulation.
  • Non-reporting risks exclusion from public procurement and penalties as the directive tightens toward 2030.

The four EED metrics

PUEOverall energy efficiencyTotal facility energy divided by IT energy (IEC 30134-2)
WUEWater efficiencyAnnual water use divided by IT energy, in litres per kWh
ERFEnergy reuseReused energy (for example waste heat) divided by total energy
REFRenewable energy shareRenewable energy divided by total energy consumed

Who must report, and when

Any data centre in the EU with installed IT power at or above 500 kW is in scope, including enterprise, colocation and hyperscale facilities. Reporting is annual to the EU database created under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364, with the first reporting cycle applying from 2024. Exact submission dates follow national transposition of the directive, so confirm the deadline for the member state where the facility operates. NOVTRIQ supports EED compliance across the UK, the EU (including Norway and Switzerland) and the UAE.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who must report under the EU EED data-centre rules?

Data centres in the EU with installed IT power at or above 500 kW must report annually. This is set by the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EU) 2023/1791 Article 12 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364, and covers enterprise, colocation and hyperscale facilities.

What metrics does the EED require?

The core reported metrics are PUE, WUE, ERF and REF, submitted alongside installed IT power, total and IT energy use, water input, renewable energy and reused heat. This tool computes all of them and flags your in-scope status.

How are PUE, WUE, ERF and REF defined?

PUE is total facility energy divided by IT energy. WUE is annual water use divided by IT energy, in litres per kWh. ERF is reused energy divided by total energy. REF is renewable energy divided by total energy consumed.

What is the reporting deadline?

Reporting is annual to the EU database under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364, applying from 2024. The exact submission date depends on national transposition, so confirm the deadline for the member state where your data centre operates.

Can NOVTRIQ prepare our EED reporting pack?

Yes. NOVTRIQ prepares full EED data-centre reporting packs and efficiency-improvement plans, and supports compliance across the UK, the EU (including Norway and Switzerland) and the UAE. This tool is an indicative first cut; a verified pack accounts for metering, boundaries and national requirements.
