Ireland is in danger of facing an electricity shortage event in
the next two to five years due to the rapid energy demand.
The Commission for Regulation of Utilities published a new plan
outlining how data centres are the primary source of the demand.
But is there time to prepare for this?

To discuss further Pat was joined on the show by Eamonn O’Reilly,
Chairman of the Energy and Climate Action Committee at the Irish
Academy of Engineering and also Dr Muireann Lynch senior research
officer at the ESRI.
