EirGrid, which operates Ireland's electricity grid, has said "maintaining the balance between supply and demand has become increasingly challenging" due to a number of factors.
EirGrid said a process of "securing emergency generation for this coming winter was instigated... in recent months." "We've seen only last week, the international report on climate change gives a greater impetus to us to really reduce emissions across all of the sectors of the economy and transport, heating, agriculture," he said.

EamonRyan closed down power stations but had nothing in place What a shower of donkeys running the country
But but but, Leo said data centres would create jobs. Was that fake news or lake of foresight ?
Nothing that a couple modern safe nuclear stations would not sort... Very green also.
So Irish society is 'facing an increasing prospect of blackouts' all because the government have allowed Data Centres to run wild. Providing areas any jobs but using up our water & electricity capacity
