Schroders Greencoat has announced a green digital infrastructure development platform, a joint venture between Schroders Greencoat’s Schroders Capital and Greencoat Renewables.

The platform focuses on the development of green energy data centres and energy parks including grid access, land and renewable energy infrastructure. Initial investments include the Premier Periclase facility in Drogheda, County Louth, developed as an integrated energy park combining flexible on-site generation, storage, and advanced grid-services capabilities.

Paul O’Donnell, Partner at Schroders Greencoat, said, “There is an exciting opportunity in integrating data centre demand with renewable energy generation to support the rapid growth of AI driven digital infrastructure. Drogheda Energy Park represents a logical next step for our business and a blueprint for future investment opportunities.

“Ireland is at the start of the next digital infrastructure investment cycle, supported by innovative new Government policy. AI driven demand for data centres, combined with the need to deliver sustainable energy solutions to support the national grid, calls for trusted, experienced operators who can deliver on Ireland’s energy needs at scale.”
