Ireland CRU2025236

Ireland CRU2025236 has been enacted.

Published by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities in December 2025, this binding decision replaces the 2021 moratorium framework and requires new data centres above 10 MVA to provide on-site or proximate dispatchable generation matching their full grid import capacity, participate in the Single Electricity Market, and source 80% of annual electricity from additional Irish renewables within a six-year glide path. System Operators EirGrid and ESB Networks must assess each application against location constraints and publish a standardised connection process by 31 March 2026.
