Keppel DC REIT and MYTILINEOS Energy & Metals sign two long-term PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) to supply Keppel’s Dublin data centers with solar power. These solar farms, located in Gorey, Wexford, and Goresbridge, Kilkenny, have a collective capacity of 14.28MW and will generate around 13.6GWh of renewable electricity per year, while reducing CO2 emissions by over 6,250 tonnes per year.

Keppel DC REIT’s commitment to Net Zero

Gary Watson, Country Manager for Keppel DC REIT in Ireland, said the initiative is part of the company’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2030, in line with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan and the Carbon Neutral Data Center Pact. This agreement covers around 92% of the combined energy needs of Keppel’s two data centers with Irish renewable sources. The solar farms are being developed by M Renewables, a subsidiary of MYTILINEOS, renowned for its successful projects around the world. M Renewables took charge of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) of the solar farms. These facilities will supply around 11% of the total energy needs of Dublin’s data centers when completed in summer 2024.

Impact and outlook for MYTILINEOS in Ireland

Nikos Papapetrou, Executive Director of M Renewables MYTILINEOS, emphasized that this first PPA in Ireland strengthens the company’s presence in the local renewable energy market and opens up significant growth opportunities. MYTILINEOS, which has been operating in Europe and the UK for ten years, sees Ireland as a strategic country for its solar, storage and hydrogen activities.

A global project

MYTILINEOS currently manages a global portfolio of energy projects totaling around 10GW, with dynamic expansion on five continents. By working with Keppel DC REIT, MYTILINEOS is helping to reduce the carbon footprint of data centers, a key sector of the digital economy. Data centers are major consumers of energy, and their supply with renewable energy is crucial to the transition.
