Spain’s Data Centers Absorb Renewables to Workaround Grid Saturation
Data centers in Spain are absorbing excess green energy capacity due to grid saturation that has left the country's electrical nodes unable to admit new renewable energy demand. It is a common problem among economies that have made major investments in green energy production without making sufficient upgrades to their electrical grids. As solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources generate more clean energy than their grids can reasonably admit, connection bottlenecks form and green energy projects have to wait months or even years before they can sell their clean energy. Spain is avoiding this eventuality by using data centers…
