Red Admiral DC Ltd has received planning approval for a €1 billion data centre and energy campus near Rochfortbridge, Westmeath. The project will create approximately 760 direct jobs and 1,000 indirect jobs during a five-year construction phase.

Red Admiral DC Ltd has been authorized by Westmeath County Council to develop a €1 billion data centre and solar farm on a 600-acre site. The project, which includes a hybrid energy system utilizing solar energy and solid-oxide fuel cells, is in partnership with SK Ecoplant.
Additionally, a 250MW x 2hr energy storage facility will enhance local energy generation efficiency. The project is expected to generate 760 direct jobs and 1,000 indirect jobs over five years. Approval followed a local planning application due to a ruling that the development was not classified as Strategic Infrastructure Development.
