Operadores de Redes Eléctricas Recurren a Tecnologías Avanzadas para Satisfacer la Demanda de Energía de Centros de Datos de Inteligencia Artificial en Europa

European utilities are confronting a surge in power‑hungry AI data centers that are straining existing transmission networks. Grid operators such as National Grid and regulators like Ofgem note that traditional infrastructure cannot keep pace with the rapid influx of projects, leading to cancellations and long queues. To address the shortfall, they are testing a suite of grid‑enhancing technologies—including dynamic line rating, line‑bypass methods, and demand‑flexibility schemes—that can extract additional capacity from existing lines without the need for costly new construction. While these tools show promise, regulators stress that substantial new infrastructure will still be required to fully accommodate AI‑driven compute demand. Leer más
