"Matt Garman believes 'much, much more' power will be needed 10 years from now"
"The global CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS) says the company remains "concerned" about Ireland's future energy provision."
"Speaking to the Irish Independent, Matt Garman acknowledged that data centres in Ireland cause controversy because of the energy they need, but predicted that power consumption demand will be "much, much more" in future."
Ireland's data centres generate controversy because of their substantial energy requirements. There is concern about whether Ireland's future energy provision can meet growing demand from digital infrastructure. Power consumption for cloud services and data centres is expected to rise significantly over the next decade, requiring much more electricity capacity. Planning and investment in generation, grid upgrades, and sustainable energy sources will be necessary to support expanding computing needs. Ensuring reliable, scalable, and low-carbon electricity supply is critical to balance economic benefits of data centres with environmental and community considerations. Coordination between industry, government, and regulators will be needed to align capacity development with growth trajectories.
