Plans to build a NZ$3.5bn datacentre in Makarewa in the country’s south has drawn concern about electricity and water use, and potential noise pollution
Its a tough situation for a lot of people. Many want to keep as much of their data on sovereign land and not utilize foreign infrastructure. Simultaneously for multiple reasons people don’t want to build infrastructure.
Likely because the answers they want are unfriendly. If ever the nation decided it wanted it’s data to stay on sovereign soil its better to have that ability than to not have it even one wanted it.

It is a foreign owned AI datacenter though. It has no reason to exist.
I imagine NZ has something similar to sovereign domain if they ever so desire to use it. Data centers are famously not portable.
Then why no transparency? It is obviously not social data center but capitalism data center. Do not play devils advocate
