Schroders Greencoat launches green digital infrastructure platform

The new platform is aimed at investing in green energy data centres and energy parks supporting growing AI needs. It will target opportunities where grid access, land and renewable energy infrastructure can be combined to serve the fast-growing and energy-intensive requirements of hyperscalers. Ireland is identified as one of the leading European markets for hyperscalers and large energy users, supported by the Irish Government’s recently launched Large Energy-Users Action Plan (LEAP). The Premier Periclase facility is a brownfield industrial site with access to existing infrastructure. The developed site will combine flexible on-site generation, storage, and advanced grid-services capabilities and intends to source its electricity requirements from renewable energy assets through corporate power purchase agreements, decarbonizing energy usage for co-located large energy users.
