“ They are very much client driven. They take ownership and accountability and responsibility for what they do and have recently been selected as our facilities management last year in a hybrid partnership. So we are working as one team.”
Metlen, part of Mytilineos Holdings, is also supporting Keppel DC REIT Ireland. The Greek solar company has been instrumental in building two solar farms with the data centre operator in Ireland.
“ We finalised two contracts last year, which went into operation in Q4 of 2024,” Gary explains.“ It’ s been a great partnership and they are helping us achieve our sustainability goals. We’ re hoping to do a lot more with them moving forward”.
“ It has been key for us to find real partners that are transparent and open. Their global reach on projects, combined with an understanding of what’ s required within a data centre, has been beneficial for both us and our clients.”
All things considered, Keppel DC REIT Ireland’ s contribution is to support the local communities within Ireland, whilst also delivering efficient digital infrastructure while supporting the Irish grid.
“ Just because it’ s not easy doesn’ t mean it can’ t be done,” Gary says.“ We are trying to maintain sustainable facilities while meeting the demand of consumers.“ A lot of people don’ t think about where the data goes – they don’ t see the 24x7 operations behind the scenes or the projects being delivered to be better grid citizens.
“ Our mantra is less talking, more doing.” datacentremagazine. com 135
