Gemini estimates Ireland’s 107 data centres may use “13 to 30 times” more water than Irish Water claims. Irish Water says data centres are using 5 million litres per day. Gemini says it’s possibly up to 272 million litres per day. That’s 54 times more than Irish Water claims 🤔 https://t.co/EvZDrTiExJ #DataCentres #Ireland #WaterUsage #IE
We know that out of control data centre development has led to 23% of electricity being consumed by data centres. A recent report found that data centres consume 80% of electricity in Dublin, yet Uisce Éireann can’t or won’t tell us the effect of data centres on water consumption #DataCenters #ElectricityConsumption #WaterUsage #IE
No more data centres! Serious investigations need to happen by Uisce Éireann into water usage in data centres. Nobody knows or even seems to want to know how much water is being used by these energy-guzzling data centres. #BanDataCentres #HosepipeBan https://t.co/y9iNQUIkGE #DataCentreDebate #WaterUsage #EnvironmentalImpact #IE
