Oral hearing told Apple data centre could require more power than Dublin

Thu, May 26, 2016

The €850 million Apple data centre planned for Athenry would consume more electricity than Dublin, an oral hearing on the project heard this week.

The Galway County Council granted planning permission to the technology giant last September to construct a data centre on lands in Palmerstown, Tobberroe, and Derrydonnell. Several appeals were lodged to An Bord Pleanala, which are being dealt with at the oral hearing taking place this week in the Connacht Hotel.

The oral hearing will also deal with a separate appeal relating to a 220kV electricity substation on the site.
