The advice seems to suggest that the best use of this form of energy is local use on farms or in factories. Is there a role for dedicated local networks? I mean that rather than feed the energy into the grid we could have local networks that feed into specific industries with which there is a relationship. If data centres were located in Ireland they are estimated to lead to a 34% increase in energy demand. My query concerns dedicated networks for particular clients.
