Operating rules for the power grid, including those of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, are being reviewed, with operating standards for capacity hoarding set to be tightened. Reports indicate that this will lead to further screening of data center operators.
Regulations governing grid operations are being strengthened, and operating rules concerning capacity hoarding are expected to change.
The rule changes are reportedly driven by a review of operations aimed at securing a stable electricity supply. Multiple operators, including Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, are said to be involved.
The impact of the tighter regulations could include further screening of data center operators and the establishment of new standards for securing supply infrastructure.
