Europe’s First Microgrid: Pure DC in Dublin, Ireland
Europe's first microgrid in the data centre space has launched at Pure DC's site in Dublin. Operating off-grid and capable of remaining so, the facility on its completion will have an installed capacity of 110MW - 30MW generated from each permanent energy centre, and 20MW from a battery energy storage system (BESS).

AVK and Pure DC Deploy Europe’s First Data Centre Microgrid
Designed to support phased data centre delivery without burdening Ireland’s national grid, the 110MW microgrid solution will ease energy constraints and help accelerate cloud and AI deployments. The first-of-its-kind in Europe, this scalable energy solution complements long‑term grid connection and renewable integration while accelerating data centre development, and providing an entirely off-grid solution in the meantime.
