In 2021, Meta reported to An Coimisiún Pleanála that just one of their data centres in Clonee, Ireland, used an average of just over 2.5 million litres of water per day or 928,000,000 litres in total in 2021. It’s now 2026, and there are at least 107 data centres in Ireland, and growing. Yet yesterday, Irish Water (Uisce Éireann) claimed that total water usage by all 107 data centres is now less than double what a single data centre was using in 2021.
