Pa asesiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi’i wneud o faint o dir sydd ei angen er mwyn i unrhyw ganolfannau data arfaethedig fod yn sero net, drwy gynhyrchu ynni solar neu ynni gwynt?

It is for individual projects to consider how their proposal will align with Welsh Government policies including net zero. 

The Welsh Government is keen to support co-location of clean and renewable energy projects alongside future data centre developments. As part of the National Energy Strategy, we are setting new emission-based targets for Wales and overall energy consumption of AI data centres and other industries will be considered as part of that work. 

I am also considering further policy options in relation to AI and data centres more broadly.
