This beast alone will increase Portugal's energy consumption by 20% by 2030 (all with renewables).
The scale of the energy consumption of DCs is truly mind-blowing.

• I wasn't aware of Portugal's huge potential for DCs.

Also interesting: PT and ES were the only EU countries with increased energy consumption last year. Most EU countries are back to ~2020 consumption levels. Sounds pretty couter-intuitive. [ref to be added]
