Weekly updates on all things energy in Ireland

<1% of demand

[Irish Independent @Independent_ie]

Data centres now using almost five million litres of public water per day https://t.co/Ir1bR91Sde

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@paulmurphy_TD @higginsdavidw Uisce Eireann confirm - less than 1%.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@AnusShanus @liamcunningham1 23%

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@paulmurphy_TD Hi Paul - this has been clarified by DETE.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@paulcolgan Heaping demand on a strained grid seems a bit much? Demand in summer is much lower in general. So higher demand is barely noticed I would imagine?

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@Paul__Walsh This investment is not in an AI data centre. It’s in chip manufacturing.

@paulmurphy_TD Hi @paulmurphy_TD DCs use less than 1% of annual water supplied by @IrishWater

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@Toibin1 Data centres use less than 1% of water supply on annual basis.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@SteveCranley @Toibin1 Yes - it’s less than 1%

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@LexiAIexander The best estimate on how much water data centres use is less than 1% of annual supply.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@CyclingForMind @Damokkles @CiaranCuffe Call it less than 1% so. Not many have been built since that report/study

@rowlsmanthorpe EirGrid TSO in Ireland https://t.co/u6iLfOaXwR

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@ConorReddy95 @CarlowWeather @IrishWater Each site would be metered, they should be able as they are charged per unit consumed.

Consumption figure is in here at 0.13% https://t.co/kFUPpzsEoW

From my experience DCs use closed loop systems and very low consumption in Ireland, one of the many reasons they set up here

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@rowlsmanthorpe Yes because already contracted and operating data centres are still ramping their demand. They sign for their maximum import capacity and then add % each year till hit their max operating level

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@CarlowWeather @ConorReddy95 @IrishWater Absolutely correct. Data centres in Ireland use so little water - less than 0.5% of annual supply.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@ConorReddy95 @IrishWater Data centres use less than 0.5% of annual supply.

[EnergyViewIE @EnergyViewIE]

@rowlsmanthorpe There’s contracted ramp demand out to 2032/33 and has been since 2016/17. Will increase to 30+% of electricity demand
