I am glad it is not data centres. EirGrid estimates that the demand from data centres could account for up to 36% of Ireland's electricity demand by 2030 and 75% of new electricity demand growth. How are big data opportunities compatible with a low carbon economy?

Does the SEAI have examples of sustainable energy community projects that are located in the midlands? What lessons can be used to develop such projects as part of the transition?
