"Electricity demand from data centres has grown from 5% of national electricity demand in 2015 to 22% in 2024.

According to Eirgrid, by 2034, it is expected that this, along with any other new technology-related energy drains, will rise to 34% of electricity demand." Source: @thejournal.ie
So, we can completely miss our climate targets but continue to build these energy sucking monstrosities. This needs to be stopped. Little to no employment, massive quantities of land and ridiculous damage to our air, water and habitats. #SpeirGorm
Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke will this morning bring a major plan to build more data centres across the country to Cabinet for sign off.
