    From that direction, datacentres applying for an electrical connection will have to be able to turn off on demand, or else provide their own power on demand. In other words, in 2030 Ireland will have about 20% of its power usage which it can simply remove from the grid on demand in the event of an issue.

    That’s an amazing capability.
