KDCR is to switch its Keppel DC Dublin 1 data centre in Citywest entirely to renewable power following a deal with SSE Airtricity.

“SSE Airtricity knows the importance of partnering with customers who share our commitment towards providing cleaner energy for now and for future generations to come. We’re proud that KDCR has chosen SSE Airtricity to provide reliable and secure green energy to the KDC Dublin 1 data centre,” said David O’Byrne, industrial & commercial sales manager, SSE Airtricity.

We are confident that Keppel DC Dublin 1, with its greener footprint, as well as high resiliency and low latency connectivity, will meet the needs of clients seeking quality and sustainable data centres.”
