Description

The Ireland data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.17% from 2025 to 2031.

IRELAND DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Ireland has about 35 operational colocation data centers. Most data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards. Dublin is the top data center destination in the country. It continues to be Ireland’s leading hub for data center expansion, marked by a concentrated growth in advanced facilities, hyperscale data centers, and dedicated cloud regions. There are around 32 existing and 14+ upcoming data centers in Dublin.
  • The average cost of developing a data center in Ireland typically ranges between $9 and 10 million per MW, making it more cost competitive than several other mature European markets, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the UK. These relatively lower development costs have been key drivers behind the concentration of hyperscale, self built data centers in the country.
  • Ireland’s Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) introduced a revised electricity grid connection policy in response to rapidly rising data center energy consumption and concerns raised by EirGrid regarding system reliability. The framework aims to ensure that the continued growth of the data center sector does not compromise electricity security, infrastructure stability, or Ireland’s legally binding climate commitments.
  • Grange Castle Business Park, located in South Dublin near Clondalkin, is one of Ireland’s largest and most significant data center clusters. It constitutes a core part of the wider west Dublin data center corridor and hosts facilities operated by several major global technology, cloud, and digital infrastructure companies. The park accommodates a dense concentration of hyperscale cloud providers and colocation operators, benefiting from shared power, connectivity, and transport infrastructure.

  • Companies such as GreenScale, Energia Group, and AVAIO Digital Partners are emerging in the country, reflecting a growing demand for data center services and innovative colocation solutions. This dynamic environment is fostering competition and promoting advancements in technology and customer offerings.
  • The cloud market in Ireland is expected to experience significant growth in the future. Major global cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others continue to expand their presence.
  • For instance, In January 2026, Amazon Web Services (AWS) secured planning approval for three new data centers in North Dublin, Ireland. The company stated that the development is not expected to have any significant climate impact. Together, the facilities will have a total combined power capacity of 73 MW.
  • Despite its challenges, the data center market in Ireland is not stagnant. Major hyperscale operators like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services continue to maintain large facilities in the country, and existing data centers are expanding within the established limitations. We are witnessing a shift from rapid, unrestricted growth to a more regulated phase, characterized by limited infrastructure.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
