EIRGRID HAS WARNED of temporary electricity supply issues in the near future due to the low availability of renewable energy and unplanned outages of a number of conventional generation units.

The warning is to allow engineers and those in the wider electricity sector to take pre-planned action to protect the integrity of the grid. The alert comes as new data from the Central Statistics Office shows that the percentage of metered electricity consumed by data centres rose from 5% in 2015 to 18% in 2022.Total metered electricity consumption increased by 20% or 4,900 Gigawatt hours between 2015 and 2022.
