What the debate was about

Auto-generated

A statement made by CRU says: EirGrid has estimated that the data centre demand will be a key driver for electricity demand in Ireland for the foreseeable future. [...] Information provided by EirGrid shows that data centres are the largest demand driver out of all the demand by connected customer groups. We have a problem, however, because there are existing agreements with data centres to connect them to the national grid: EirGrid has outlined that Connection Agreements are already in place for over 1,800 MW ... for data centres ...

Will the Minister consider the evidence on data centres and ensure the emergency measure of a moratorium on data centres, for that is exactly what it is, is ingrained in this emergency legislation?
