Ireland Data Center Market Outlook: Strategic Growth Amid Evolving Energy Landscape
Ireland is rapidly establishing itself as a major data center hub in Western Europe, supported by strong investments from global hyperscale players such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft. The country’s market share in data center investments continues to rise, driven by its strategic location, evolving infrastructure policies, and demand for scalable digital capacity.
To support this growth, the Irish government plans to introduce a new data center policy in July 2025, enabling private operators to directly connect facilities to power sources, reflecting efforts to balance infrastructure expansion with grid sustainability. Power consumption by data centers has become a significant concern, accounting for 21% of Ireland’s electricity use in 2023. In response, operators like Microsoft are turning to renewable energy, signing power purchase agreements (PPAs) with local providers such as Energia.
Recent Market Moves Strengthen Ireland’s Data Center Momentum
- Equinix Expands Irish Presence: In December 2024, Equinix acquired BT Group’s two Dublin facilities (CityWest and Ballycoolin) for $61.3 million, adding 160,000 sq. ft. and 13.5 MW of capacity.
- Echelon Scales Colocation Power: In September 2024, Echelon secured grid access for a 200+ MW colocation project in Wicklow, spanning 484,000+ sq. ft.
Ireland Emerges as a Leading AI Hub, Driving Demand for Smarter Data Centers
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping Ireland’s digital ecosystem, with growing reliance on high-performance computing and advanced data management accelerating AI integration across data centers. Key sectors, including technology, media, science, agriculture, and utilities, are increasingly leveraging AI to drive productivity and operational efficiency. According to the Central Statistics Office of Ireland, enterprise-level AI adoption jumped from 8% in 2023 to over 15% in 2024.
Further highlighting this trend, AWS’s Unlocking Ireland’s AI Potential 2025 report found that Ireland now leads Europe in start-up AI adoption. Approximately 63% of start-ups are already using AI, with 36% placing it at the core of their business models. Supported by forward-looking government initiatives and private sector momentum, this rapid uptake is set to significantly boost investment in AI-optimized data center infrastructure across the country.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Cloud Investment Surge: Ireland’s cloud computing demand is accelerating. In March 2025, OVH Cloud launched a local edge zone in Dublin, reinforcing the country’s strategic digital position.
- AI Adoption on the Rise: Over 15% of Irish enterprises adopted AI in 2024, up from 8% in 2023, according to the Central Statistics Office, signaling rapid digital transformation across industries.
- Renewable Energy Integration: Data center operators, such as Echelon Data Centres, are increasingly turning to green energy. In March 2025, Echelon announced two new wind-powered data centers.
- National Broadband Expansion: The Irish government’s National Broadband Plan (NBP), in partnership with National Broadband Ireland (NBI), aims to deliver high-speed fiber broadband to 420,000+ premises by end of 2025.
- Digital Skills Development: Through its “Harnessing Digital” strategy, Ireland targets over 80% of adults possessing basic digital skills by 2030, supporting long-term digital infrastructure growth.
