Denmark's electricity grid faces a critical connection crisis as insufficient capacity struggles to meet surging demands from batteries, data centers, power-to-X facilities, electric vehicle charging, and industrial electrification. The Danish Parliament is currently addressing this challenge by amending the Electricity Supply Act, moving away from the "first-come-first-served" principle toward a more politically prioritized approach to grid connection requests.

De væsentligste nyheder indenfor Energi og Infrastruktur vedrører det, der bedst kan beskrives som nettilslutningskrisen. Det danske elnet er presset, der er utilstrækkelig kapacitet til at imødekomme de stigende behov fra batterier, datacentre, PtX, elbilsopladning samt elektrificering af industrien og varmesektoren. Der arbejdes på flere fronter for at løse problemet. Folketinget behandler p.t. en ændring af Elforsyningsloven, der betyder farvel til ”først-til-mølle princippet” og goddag til en mere politisk prioritering mellem nettilslutningsanmodningerne. Energinet og netselskaberne udvikler nye processer for behandling af nettilslutningsanmodninger og nye, fleksible netprodukter. Udover nettilslutningsproblemet indeholder nyhedsbrevet nyheder om emballageforordningen, og vejledning om truede dyrearter ved etablering af VE anlæg.
