Maps of Data Centres In Ireland

The Journal Investigates published an informative piece showing maps of where the data centre clusters are in Ireland (mostly Dublin), and where over 40 other planned data centres will be located. Already, data centres account for 18% of the Irish electricity grid load, the highest in Europe, and have emitted more than 181,00 tonnes of CO2 since 2005.
