Norway caps data centers
The Norwegian government has announced plans to curb the expansion of electricity-intensive data centers, amid forecasts that their growth could lead to power shortages and higher prices. The company Statnett has temporarily suspended new connection applications pending the adoption of a licensing system that would prioritize centers serving critical sectors, such as defense, healthcare and finance, while restricting global cloud-storage companies and cryptocurrency platforms. New connection requests totaled 26,000 megawatts this year, with data centers accounting for 75% of them. The government is considering requiring new centers to pay for grid upgrades or generate their own electricity.
