Ireland may cut data center gas costs
The Irish Utility Regulator is studying the possibility of imposing discounts on the gas network charges for new data centers, on the condition that they reduce their supplies during peak periods to ensure the stability of household energy supplies. This step comes amidst rising energy prices and challenges within the European energy market, aiming to protect the most affected groups from increased living costs and to reduce pressure on electricity grids. The proposal has faced criticism from opposition parties, who considered it unfair to citizens and small businesses, and called for a temporary ban on connecting new data centers to the grid to ensure national supply stability.
