Data centres can contribute to the grid and strengthen system resilience. Global powers are increasingly looking at how large data-centre loads affect our grids and what measures are needed to make them more system-compatible and also at potentially making data centres a market to strengthen our domestic production of strategic technologies. Right now, the draft EU rating approach for data centres does not fully meet the […]
