Amazon Web Services (AWS) has received planning permission for three data centers in north Dublin, Ireland.

The greenlight, awarded by planning appeals body An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP), comes three years after the application was first filed by Amazon affiliate Universal Developers LLC, reports the Irish Independent.

Fingal Council previously approved the project in 2023, but the application was delayed after five appeals were lodged with ACP seeking to prevent the project from going ahead.

As recently as July 2025, AWS claimed that the project would have no ‘significant impact on climate’ in response to those appeals.

The data centers are planned for a 65-acre site at Cruiserath Road. The buildings, dubbed Data Centre E, Data Centre F, and Data Centre G, will have a gross floor area of 1,425 sqm (15,350 sq ft), 20,580 sqm (221,520 sq ft), and 20,580 sqm, respectively, each over two levels. Building E will see one new generator installed, while Buildings F and G will see 19 installed.

The company secured a grid connection with EirGrid for the buildings in 2019, meaning the facilities avoid the ongoing capacity crunch and de facto moratorium in Dublin that impacted other developments in the city. According to documents in the filing, the buildings will have a combined power load of 73MW.

While the campus has been given renewed approval, it is conditional on AWS entering into a corporate Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) with a renewable energy provider, which must be equal to or greater than the energy requirements for the data centers.

Despite AWS’ previous claims that there would be no significant impact on the environment, ACP instead said that it would not have an “unacceptable impact,” but there is potential for some as a result of greenhouse gas emissions. The PPA is thus hoped to mitigate this.
