Amazon is planning to build two data center buildings in Clonshaugh close to existing and future planned facilities within the Clonshaugh Business and Technology Park. The site currently holds a former Ricoh building and was once earmarked for a T5 data center.

It also enjoys affordable electricity, often from renewable sources. In fact, Ireland is aiming to produce 40 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.
