Ireland: where the filing meets the grid queue

Who must report

Ireland applies the EU default: facilities with 500 kW of installed IT power demand report the full EED set annually by 15 May. Dublin hosts one of the largest data-centre clusters in Europe, and a sizeable share of national electricity demand comes from data centres, so the sector reports under more public scrutiny here than almost anywhere else.

What gets reported

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364 defines the content everywhere in the EU: facility identification and redundancy levels (Annex I), and 24 key performance indicators (Annex II) spanning energy, water, waste heat, renewables, ICT capacity, and data traffic. From those, the reporting platform computes four sustainability indicators: PUE, WUE, ERF, and REF.

The inputs are less exotic than the acronyms suggest: twelve months of electricity and water bills, meter or BMS readings where they exist, and a small set of declared facts about the facility. The hard part is provenance. Every figure must stay traceable to the document it came from, because measured and estimated values are not interchangeable once caps and verification enter the picture.

The CRU policy makes measurement a growth condition

The regulatory story in Ireland is bigger than the filing. After years of an effective connection moratorium in Dublin, the CRU’s large energy user connection policy sets conditions for new and growing connections: larger connections carry obligations around on-site generation or storage capability and renewable trajectories, and the evidence burden runs on measured load, not nameplate claims.

Connections under 1 MVA sit outside the policy. For a growing operator, that turns two measured numbers into strategy: what is my actual peak demand, and how much headroom does my existing connection hold? Your electricity bill already contains the first; your connection agreement contains the second. Facilities that can answer with measured data hold options that facilities running on estimates do not.

One dataset, both questions

The same twelve months of bills that produce the EED filing contain the maximum-demand figures the capacity question needs. Irish operators get the clearest version of the two-problem story: the filing is the deadline, and the connection policy is the reason the same measurement layer pays for itself beyond compliance.

How NRGKit files it

We compute the 24 datapoints from your bills and exports with deterministic, auditable code, flag what is missing with a gap report, and produce the filing pack against the current template version for your register. Every figure carries its lineage. You review and sign before anything is submitted: you remain the filer of record, and no filing leaves draft status without a human signature.

Founding Filing Partners get the whole 2027 filing season done with them for £1,950 for the year, including the capacity headroom readout computed from the same bills.
