Newsalert | Public Law, Regulatory & Authorities 08/06/2026

With Regional Law No. 11 of 3 June 2026, entitled “Provisions on the establishment of data centers”, the Lombardy Region introduces a comprehensive framework governing the development, expansion, and monitoring of data centers across the regional territory.

In the latest newsalert, Chiomenti professionals analyse the key innovations introduced by the law, both in terms of location planning and energy and environmental aspects. In particular, the analysis focuses on the criteria for determining the suitability of areas, coordination mechanisms with urban planning, and the authorisation procedures for the implementation of projects.

The regional framework not only represents the first attempt to regulate the siting of data centers at a territorial level, but also provides guidance on urban planning aspects which – also in light of the recent Decreto Bollette – constitute a prerequisite for initiating the simplified single authorisation process.
