Chapter3. Recent Government Measures Section6. Subsidy for Development of Regional Data Centers
Data centers (DC) support the provision of new digital services that contribute to solving various social issues, and are also important infrastructure from the perspective of security, as they store companies' and other organizations' trade secrets and personal information. Despite this, 80% of domestic DCs are concentrated in the Tokyo and Osaka areas, and there are challenges such as strengthening the resilience of DCs and uneven distribution of power load.
To this end, for establishing new DCs in the regions, the project aims to develop new DC sites that complement or substitute for those in the Tokyo and Osaka areas, and to ensure that the DCs established in these areas are operated and used continuously, by subsidizing the costs of land development as well as electric power and telecommunications infrastructure development.
