Alphabet Inc.’s Google has been refused permission to build a data center just outside Dublin for failing to meet some of Ireland’s sustainability requirements.
The tech giant’s plan to develop a 72,400 square-meter (779,310 square-foot) data storage facility was rejected by South Dublin County Council in a decision published last week. The council wrote that Google hadn’t provided enough detail on “how the proposal will impact the power supply once operational” in 2027, according to the decision.
