Data centres accounted for almost a fifth of all electricity used in the Republic of Ireland in 2022.
In 2021 Ireland's energy regulator published new rules for connecting data centres to the electricity grid.
Future connections will depend on location, the ability to use back-up generators and the ability to reduce power consumption when requested. The regulator said it was hoped the guidance would mitigate the risks to the electricity networks and "provide clarity" for future and existing connection applications.
The regulator added that without a new policy, there would likely be "a situation where demand would outstrip available supply at the peak and would result in load shedding and consumers facing rolling blackouts".
