Spain forces Red Eléctrica to boost grid investment 30% to avert collapse

Spain's government has compelled grid operator Red Eléctrica to increase investment by 30% in response to surging electricity demand from data centers and other industrial plans, marking the largest grid resizing in the country's history. The move follows pressure from hundreds of companies and aims to prevent a potential power grid collapse. The scale of demand growth and the timeline for implementation remain uncertain, but the decision signals a major infrastructure shift.
