What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Spain is implementing new regulatory measures in Aragon and Madrid, driven by high energy prices resulting from the war in Iran. These measures include a royal decree regulating how data centers access the electricity grid. Industry sources report that the draft rules have caused investment interest in Spain to halt. The government's initiative would have a particularly significant impact on Madrid and Aragon.
