<p>DCFlex continues to gain momentum in Europe, bringing together utilities, technology providers, and data‑centre operators to accelerate flexible, grid‑ready digital infrastructure. Two major additions recently joined the initiative: <strong>ESB</strong> and <strong>Kraken</strong>. ESB’s participation reflects the growing need for practical solutions in Ireland, where data‑centre demand is highly concentrated and grid integration must balance reliability, decarbonisation, and speed to connection.</p>
