Stop for reservation of power for data centres in Norway
Published
It is new that it will no longer be possible to reserve power for data centres in Norway. The news was published by the website Kode24.
Reserving power means that a company receives a guarantee that it can use a specific amount of electricity in the future. This often happens before the facility has been built. Data centres use a lot of electricity, and many companies have wanted to secure capacity in the power grid for new projects.
Norway depends on hydropower, and electricity is important both for households and for industry. When many new data centres want power at the same time, it can put pressure on the power grid. The stop may therefore have consequences for companies that are planning new data centres in the country.
The article from Kode24 currently provides limited information about the details of the decision. It is not stated how long the stop will last. It is therefore uncertain how the change will affect the development of data centres in Norway going forward. More information about the matter is expected.
