Data centers account for nearly a third of Dutch electricity grid waiting list
The Dutch grid operators have told Nieuwsuur that data centers account for almost one-third of the requested electricity capacity on the waiting list for new grid connections. The requests total around 15 gigawatts (GW), roughly the combined connection capacity of all Dutch households.
Data centers with a total capacity of 15 Gigawatts are on the waiting list for a power connection. Enough to supply energy to approximately 15 million households.
Almost a third of the capacity on the waiting list for a power connection has been requested by data centers. Grid operators want… Data centers claim a third of the waiting list for power
One-third of the capacity on the waiting list for power connections is for data centers. That amounts to no less than 15 Gigawatts: an amount capable of powering nearly twice all households in the Netherlands. Netbeheer Nederland therefore states that the cabinet should seriously reconsider whether it really wants so many data centers in our country.
