Irish data centre market sustains 3% growth in Q4 2019; record breaking renewable energy production sets stage for future growth
DUBLIN, IRELAND
The latest Irish data centre industry update report from Host in Ireland is now available. The report shows the data centre market sustaining 3% growth in Q4 2019 with 658MW of operational data centres. Hyperscalers remain the dominant data centre type, with 73% of capacity, but the colocation wholesale market has doubled from 6% to 12% in the past 3 years. Also found in the report, data centre electricity demand represented 1.7% of Ireland’s carbon emissions in 2019.
In order to maintain Ireland’s leading status as a Tier 1 data hosting location over the next decade, the continued decarbonisation of the grid as set out by the Government, Eirgrid and IWEA will play a critical role. Wind farms have recently recorded max wind output of 4,137MW and set new daily generation records of 71% of electricity needs met by wind. These numbers are encouraging indicators that the 70% annualised target by 2030 set by the government for renewable energy source is achievable.
