Data Centers on the Fast Track: National Opportunity with Regulatory Challenges
Adv. Hagit Ben Moshe, a partner and head of our firm's Kibbutz Sector and Energy Department, was interviewed by Nadlan Center regarding a legislative proposal to classify data centers of 50MW or more as national infrastructure. This proposal could enable accelerated approvals through the National Infrastructure Committee's fast-track process. She noted that while the reform presents a significant opportunity to shorten project timelines, it is also accompanied by regulatory bottlenecks and implementation challenges requiring coordination among the relevant authorities.
