Datacentres Use 22 Percent of Ireland's Electricity, Pushing Up Household Bills

A new report says that datacentres in Ireland have been adding hundreds of euros to household electricity bills.

一份新报告指出，爱尔兰的数据中心一直在增加家庭电费数百欧元的支出。

Ireland's growing number of datacentres used 22 percent of the country's electricity last year.

The report was commissioned by Friends of the Earth Ireland and Beyond Fossil Fuels.

这份报告是由爱尔兰地球之友和超越化石燃料所委托进行的。

It found that datacentres have drained 715 million euros from the Irish economy between 2015 and 2023.

研究发现，在 2015 年至 2023 年期间，数据中心已从爱尔兰经济中耗费了 7.15 亿欧元。

During this period, household bills increased by an average of 360 euros because of growing energy consumption by the infrastructure.

The report argued that Irish households have been subsidising big technology companies through a hidden tax on their bills.
