The Norwegian government plans to curb the growth of energy-intensive data centers amid concerns that their expansion, fueled by the AI boom, could lead to electricity shortages and higher prices. Statnett has temporarily halted new grid-connection applications pending the adoption of a licensing system that prioritizes centers serving critical sectors such as defense, health care, and finance, while placing restrictions on cloud-storage companies and cryptocurrency platforms.
