development2026-06-08

Claim

Ireland is ending its data center moratorium with a bring-your-own-power rule forcing new sites to generate their own electricity rather than drain a grid that already gives them roughly a fifth of national supply, as hyperscalers sold over $155 billion of bonds this year.

Reported metric: ~20% of national power

Reporting date: (not necessarily the event date)
