This report analyses the Ireland data center market share. It elaborately analyses the existing and upcoming facilities and investments in IT, electrical, mechanical infrastructure, cooling systems, general construction, and tier standards. It discusses market sizing and investment estimation for different segments.
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.
