Industries that consume large amounts of energy will now have priority in obtaining grid connection capacity, ahead of data centers. This change represents a reversal of the previously established order of preference.
The new rule comes in a context where demand for grid connection capacity has been increasing significantly, especially due to the growth of the technology sector and the expansion of data centers.
This decision aims to ensure that industrial companies, which depend critically on stable and continuous energy supply for their production processes, have preferential access to the necessary electrical infrastructure.
The measure reflects the need to balance the different energy needs of the economy, giving primacy to traditional industrial activities over the technology sector, which until now had occupied a prominent position in the queue for new grid connections.
