Energy transition at a crossroads as data centres to use 20% of power by 2030
Pinergy chief executive Edna Gunnell says that Ireland's energy transition is 'at a crossroads'.
Ireland's energy transition is at a crossroads with data centres expected to account for 20% of all power by 2030, and major investment needed to cope with demand, a new report warns.
The report by Pinergy in collaboration with global consultancy Wood Mackenzie predicts that Irish electricity demand will grow by two thirds by 2050, with on-grid power generation climbing 16% by 2030, but says that current progress is insufficient to meet key energy targets.
