A key challenge for the Irish electricity grid is ensuring a secure and reliable supply of power to meet the increasing demand from large data centres.

Background

The Irish government has set ambitious targets for renewable energy production, with significant success in delivering projects. The country aims to become a global leader in this sector, driven by its strong digital technologies, R&D, and manufacturing capabilities.

The Challenge

Large data centres have invested heavily in Ireland, providing employment opportunities and data services. However, the rapid growth in electricity demand poses a challenge to the grid's security of supply and network constraints.

Proposed Decision Paper

A proposed decision paper has been published by the CRU on the Large Energy Users connection policy (CRU202504). The purpose is to set out a potential pathway for new data centre customers to connect to the electricity grid while minimising impacts on national renewable energy targets and carbon emissions.

Key Considerations

Any new direction under Section 34 of the 1999 Electricity Regulation Act will apply to all new connection contracts. The outcome of this work will inform the CRU's decision, including any changes to the Large Energy Users connection policy.

Actions Required

Responses are invited from interested parties until further notice. Submissions should be made via a dedicated consultation portal. Feedback will inform a decision to be published at a later stage.
