Associations file six appeals against €50bn data centre project in France

The planned data centre in Fouju, in the Seine-et-Marne region, is estimated to cost €50 billion.

Associations have filed six appeals against permits and planning changes for the project.

They say dividing it among three companies may have helped it avoid stricter safety rules.

The centre is expected to use a large amount of electricity, and the appeals could affect its development.
