Vantage Data Centers has invested over €1 billion ($1.1bn) to enter the Irish telecoms market and develop a data center campus called DUB1. The campus will have a total IT capacity of 52MW and is expected to be operational by late 2024. Located 9 miles from Dublin's city center, DUB1 will be Vantage's fourteenth campus in the EMEA region. The site will prioritize sustainability, with an annualized power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.2 and a multi-fuel generation plant to alleviate pressure on the grid. The development is expected to have a positive economic impact, employing over 1,100 individuals during construction and creating approximately 165 jobs to operate the campus.
