Clare Environmental Group Criticises 'Lack Of Transparancy' From CRU Over Data Centre Energy Deal
A Clare environmental group is criticising the 'lack of transparency' from the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, in the wake of a proposal that would see data centres receive a reduction in their energy bills. The CRU is suggesting that data centres could receive cheaper energy rates in return for turning off their gas supply at peak times. A decision has yet to be made on the arrangement, with the CRU having launched a public consultation in June. Futureproof Clare spokesperson Sinead Sheahan says the energy regulator needs to be held to account to a greater extent.
