would be amazing to get some of that alibaba money in the country. diversify us a bit away from the US reliance.

Good stuff. Lots of work for the lads in construction and suppliers. 45bn will put a hell of a lot of young lads through their time on the tools and learning their trade.
That’s a lot of money to funnel into this island.
The government should be bending over backwards, building energy infrastructure for this type of money being sloshed around.

Great can’t wait for residential electricity to increase again, I feel I’m paying too little if I’m honest

I would love if these data centres were mandated to provide any excess heat coming from their operations into a local district heating system proving cheap energy for the receiving communities as well as a community benefit fund

It’d be good to reduce reliance on the US a bit, happy to welcome Chinese investment.

Article does not say they are spending €45bn in Ireland or building anything in Ireland. That’s their global spend.
Said they were thinking of building a DC here at a EMEA conference but going to use current providers here to continue to ensure they retain their data warehousing in Europe. They have a large DC in Germany so Ireland third party providers would likely cover Europe West for storage and redundancy.
Going to build large European ones now in the Netherlands and France and then in Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, Dubai and likely build on to Germany. Looks like they will be using Irish based fibre to connect thru to the ones they are building elsewhere (europe-ireland-onwards). That’s all.
