Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy Charter Treaty, Energy Security, Liquefied Natural Gas and Data Centres: Discussion

Dr. Patrick Bresnihan:

It has been made explicit that these gas terminals are being developed in tandem with data centres. It is not just a question of energy supply and demand, but that data centres are actually incorporated as part of the development. I agree with Senator Boylan that there is a strong connection between those two things.
