A new €1 billion multi-phase data centre campus is being planned for west Dublin, creating 165 new permanent jobs and more than 1,000 during construction.
US based Vantage Data Centers is developing 52MW of IT capacity in the first two phases of the facility at Profile Park in Grange Castle, which it is aiming to open later this year.The company says it will power the new campus using an on-site 100MVA multi-fuel generation plant.
"Given the temporary power constraints in Dublin, this on-site generation plant will support current capacity constraints by alleviating pressure on energy demand from the grid while achieving optimal efficiency and power output," the firm said in a statement. "In addition, Vantage plans to deploy HVO in place of conventional diesel fuel throughout its fleet of back-up generators and is working to obtain corporate power purchase agreements for green energy, such as biomethane from local providers," it added.
The company, which claims to be committed to environmental responsibility and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, says the data centres will use almost no water for the purposes of cooling.
