Amazon’s arguments are a reminder of the central role that data centres play in the global strategy of large technology companies - and of the State’s challenges on green energy

They do have a point. A historic lack of investment in power generating capacity and the grid has resulted in limits being put on the development of new data centres, including a moratorium on any new centres in the Dublin region.

If the necessary generating capacity and transmission infrastructure is not in place the question of connection is moot. The prioritisation of Amazon and other data centre operators also cannot be taken for granted.
