Denmark Publishes Emergency Grid Law That Puts Data Centers Last

Denmark passed an emergency law to overhaul power-grid access, effectively making most data centers the lowest priority for grid capacity. The energy minister warned the current setup could derail the green-energy transition, signaling tighter constraints on electricity availability for new/expanding data-center demand. This is likely to be sector-relevant and could move associated utilities and data-center infrastructure stocks.
