The Government admits it may decide this year the requests for increased electrical capacity submitted by the promoters of the two data centers planned for Abrantes, which already have authorization for grid connection.
The Minister of Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho, confirmed that the two projects already have authorization for connection to the electrical grid, but the promoters requested greater connection capacity.
The article does not specify what the currently authorized capacity is nor the additional amount requested by the promoters of the data centers.
This case arises in the context of growing interest in installing data centers in Portugal, particularly in the Abrantes region, which has been pointed out as a strategic location for this type of technological infrastructure.
