Data Centres

The data centre market in Ireland is significant, driven by increasing global demand for digital services and cloud storage. As a hub for hyperscale operators, Ireland is an attractive destination due to its skilled workforce, favourable business environment, and strong international connectivity. However, data centre development comes with significant environmental and regulatory challenges, particularly around energy use, emissions, and sustainability.

At AWN Consulting, we provide expert environmental consulting services to support data centre developers in securing planning permission and ensuring compliance throughout the construction phase. Our team works closely with clients to conduct detailed Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), addressing key issues such as noise, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. We also deliver robust climate and sustainability strategies, ensuring that projects align with Ireland’s renewable energy and carbon neutrality goals.

During construction, AWN offers real-time monitoring for noise, vibration, and dust to ensure adherence to planning conditions and to minimise disruption to local communities. Our Environmental Clerks of Works (ECoW) provide on-site oversight, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

By combining technical expertise with a proactive approach, AWN helps clients navigate complex environmental challenges, enabling the successful delivery of sustainable, compliant data centre projects.
