2023: Data centers for the first time began to consume more electricity than the population of all cities in the country
At the end of July 2024, it became known that Ireland's energy-intensive data centers began to consume more electricity than the population of all cities in the country. The country's growing fleet of data centres took 21% of the electricity it generates in 2023, a fifth more than in 2022, according to the Irish Central Statistics Office.
According to official figures, data centers for the first time surpassed electricity consumption in urban homes, which accounted for 18% of the total network capacity in 2023. Experts have raised concerns that a sudden spike in electricity demand caused by data centres could derail plans to meet climate targets both in Ireland itself and across Europe.
Google, which has its European headquarters in Ireland, has previously said its data centres require so much electricity that it could hamper plans to protect the climate. Thus, in 2023, the total volume of emissions that exacerbate global warming increased by 48% compared to 2019. In 2023, Ireland used fossil fuels to generate more than 50% of its electricity, of which 45% was generated by gas-fired power plants and the rest by burning coal, peat or oil. Wind power accounted for 34.6%, while solar power yielded just 1.2%.
Rising demand for data processing, driven by recent advances in artificial intelligence, could see Irish data centres consume around 31% of Ireland's electricity over the next three years. This will eclipse the electricity demand of all Ireland's urban and rural homes combined, which collectively account for 28% of total electricity demand in 2023. However, such demand will increase pressure on tech companies to invest more in developing their own sources of renewable energy.[1]
