Google — Dublin AI Data Center Campus

Google’s Dublin data center campus, located in the Kilmore area of north Dublin, is the company’s primary Irish AI infrastructure facility and an anchor of Google Cloud’s European presence. Operational since 2011, the campus has been expanded multiple times and now represents approximately 250 MW of capacity, serving Google Cloud’s europe-west1 region.

The facility supports a wide range of AI workloads: Google Translate, Google Photos AI image processing, Maps AI routing, and Gemini model inference for European users. Data processed in Dublin falls under Irish data protection law and GDPR, making it a preferred location for European enterprises and government customers.

Google has committed to operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy at all its data centers globally by 2030. The Dublin campus has secured PPAs with Irish onshore and offshore wind projects and is integrated with renewable energy certificates from the Irish grid. Ireland’s cool climate enables Google’s adiabatic cooling systems to operate with industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratios.

Google employs approximately 8,000 people in Ireland across its data center operations, cloud infrastructure, and European headquarters functions, making it one of Ireland’s largest private employers.
