Global Infrastructure SherpaPure DC and AVK launch 110MW natural gas microgrid at Dublin data center campus
110 MW
Capacity
Pure Data Centres (Pure DC) and power firm AVK announced the launch of a 110MW on-site microgrid at Pure DC's Dublin campus. This project, billed as Europe's first large-scale microgrid, will support early-phase data center operations ahead of full grid connection and is engineered to accommodate future hydrogen blending and includes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) capability and a battery energy storage system (BESS). The microgrid will be comprised of three interconnected energy centers, with EC1 and EC2 operational by the end of 2026.
