Algeria limits AI data center peak load to protect urban grids

February 26, 2026 · Reuters

Algeria introduced peak-load caps for AI facilities in major metro zones.

The policy is a temporary guardrail while transmission upgrades are underway.

Operators must submit load-shifting plans and fallback operations for permit renewal.

The caps are expected to stabilize short-term grid quality.

Controlled growth rules may push operators toward lower-density sites.
