New data-centre investment of up to €5bn is now underway – or being planned – in Dublin, using new microgrid technology that aims to allay the energy consumption fears that have stymied the sector.
Five new projects – four data centres and another heavy-energy-use facility – are currently in development. The new technology allows them to run on renewable power and feed excess energy back into the grid.
