  "summary": "The European Union is preparing to address increasing strain on its electricity grids as industrial electrification and the growth of data centers drive up demand. According to a proposed regulation accessed by El Pais, the Council of Europe and Eurocamara warn of potential \"observed or predicted shortages\" at connection points, allowing regulators to set priorities for who can connect when capacity is insufficient. The proposal also calls for lowering the taxation of electricity to be lower than that of gas and other fuels, a crucial step in accelerating the currently urgent electrification process.",
