2 min read
Norway's grid operator Statnett pauses new power reservations for data centers until Aug. 1, 2027, citing grid strain. Currently, 4,200 MW is set aside while 9,100 MW waits in line against a 25,000 MW national maximum. Foreign firms own 90% of these facilities, and the Digitalization Minister emphasizes controlling growth to ensure societal benefit.
