How this measure is built
- Definition
- Electricity recorded at Irish mains-network meters identified by CSO as primarily data-centre activity; July 2026 release vintage.
- Measure
- One slice of Electricity consumption ( counting rule: cso, form: level, segment: data centre ) . Total electrical energy consumed over a given period. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
