💨 Abstract

France's advantage in attracting AI investments due to its abundant nuclear power could be hindered by the time required to connect power-hungry data centers to the electricity grid. Planned data centers could take years due to burdensome permitting and construction procedures, and this slow buildout could be a disadvantage compared to countries with faster construction processes. State-owned utility EDF is trying to speed up the process by identifying sites for data centers with grid connections already in place.
