flag Equinix begins €68M Dublin data center project using existing power, amid rising national electricity use and regulatory scrutiny.

flag Equinix has started construction on DB7x, a €68 million data centre in Dublin’s Blanchardstown, using existing power from nearby sites to avoid new grid connections. flag The facility, part of a broader expansion supporting Ireland’s Digital and AI Strategy, will boost colocation capacity and global connectivity. flag Data centres now account for 22% of Ireland’s electricity use, up from 5% in 2015, and are projected to use nearly one-third of national demand by 2030. flag The government’s Large Energy Action Plan and new CRU rules requiring 80% renewable energy for new data centres are under legal review following a challenge by environmental groups.
