Open issues

The Minister’s final direction of 4 November 2022 explicitly deleted the data-centre zoning for 33 ha at Ballysimon. No later reinstatement was verified. Current planning status is the first gate, ahead of land terms and grid feasibility. Marketing is not cleared; regional ICT activity alone does not demonstrate campus customer demand.

Marketing status unresolvedRecorded check: 26 Sept 2026

Overview

Newly identified historical landowner signal: MKO’s 6 September 2021 submission LCC-C62-162 sought data-centre zoning for approximately 33.4 ha on behalf of David Fitzgerald and Family. It is a specific landowner-led development ambition, not a newly announced 2026 acquisition or an available powered-land listing.

Next action

Check the current zoning map and any superseding variation before spending on a connection study. Reconcile the 33.4 ha submission red line with title and retained residential uses. If planning can be advanced, investigate a conditional controlling option and request operator-backed demand feasibility. No contact has been made.

Research only. Independent development control and an actionable off-market opportunity have not been established.

What the power evidence establishes

The site-specific connection scope has not been established for this record.

Power classDNo qualifying rung

No same-scope, dated import-MVA rung has document-seen or better verification. Nearby infrastructure, IT MW and marketing claims cannot upgrade the class.

The class describes published documentary evidence at its stated date. It does not prove current contractual rights, transferability or an energisation date.

Class describes evidence maturity. Public records do not prove current contractual rights, transferable capacity or an energisation date. This record has not received a complete power study review.

03

Ireland grid context

Network publications frame the claim. They do not allocate capacity to this site.

No country context entries have been linked to this site. Applicable policy, capacity information and reinforcement dependencies need review.

Country coverage: Ireland pilot. View all country sources and refresh schedules.

04

Derived energisation window

Earliest plausible yearUnknown
Latest plausible yearUnknown

The observed inputs do not establish a bounded delivery range. Open bounds stay unknown.

Rule

Use only a same-scope, dated, document-verified capacity rung and an applicable duration to energisation published by the observed site operator. The named process operator and a named source publisher must match that operator. Earliest year is the maximum of stage date plus minimum duration and each evidenced readiness constraint. Latest year is the maximum of stage date plus maximum duration and each published upper constraint only when every required input is bounded. An offer-processing duration is excluded. A missing required input leaves the affected bound unknown; no padding or contractual delivery promise is inferred.

No observed inputs establish this result.

Dependencies driving the range

  • Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates: unknown.
  • Grid-works planning status and programme: unknown.
  • Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme: unknown.

What the earliest case requires

  • Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.
  • Grid-works planning status and programme introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.
  • Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.

Missing inputs leave the range open

  • A dated, document-verified import-MVA rung for the assessed scope.
  • An applicable duration from the evidenced stage to energisation, published by and matched to the observed site operator, rather than an offer-processing target.
  • Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates
  • Grid-works planning status and programme
  • Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme
05

Indicative HV and connection capex

Unknown

Rule and scope

Sum each published complete scope quantity multiplied by the matching published benchmark minimum and maximum. Configuration, voltage, route type, unit, country applicability, currency and explicit price base year must match. No assumed route length, transformer count, exchange rate, inflation, fee uplift or partial index is inserted. The result is an indicative benchmark band, not an operator quotation or contractual connection charge.

No observed inputs establish this result.

Published connection works scope
Unknown

Not established from the public records reviewed.

What complete connection scope is published: bays, stations, voltage, circuits, route lengths and underground or overhead configuration?
Scope completeness
Unknown

Not established from the public records reviewed.

Is the published connection scope complete enough to match every component to a sourced benchmark?

Scope questions

  • Obtain a published complete connection scope with voltage, configuration and measured quantities.
  • Establish that every necessary connection-work component is included in the published scope.
  • Identify network and customer works, upstream reinforcement, land and wayleaves, taxes, fees, securities, contingency and the price base.

    No country-context relationship has been established for this record.

  53. Identify network and customer works, upstream reinforcement, land and wayleaves, taxes, fees, securities, contingency and the price base.

    Connection-cost scope question.

  54. Resolve the energisation input: A dated, document-verified import-MVA rung for the assessed scope.

    This missing input leaves an energisation bound unknown.

  55. Resolve the energisation input: An applicable duration from the evidenced stage to energisation, published by and matched to the observed site operator, rather than an offer-processing target.

    This missing input leaves an energisation bound unknown.

  56. Resolve the energisation input: Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates

    This missing input leaves an energisation bound unknown.

  57. Resolve the energisation input: Grid-works planning status and programme

    This missing input leaves an energisation bound unknown.

  58. Resolve the energisation input: Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme

    This missing input leaves an energisation bound unknown.

  59. Obtain a published complete connection scope with voltage, configuration and measured quantities.

    This scope or reference gap prevents a complete indicative connection capex band.

  60. Establish that every necessary connection-work component is included in the published scope.

    This scope or reference gap prevents a complete indicative connection capex band.

Class DNo qualifying ladder rung

The 2021 submission describes 110 kV lines on the land and Killonan 220 kV approximately 700 m east. Its 1,000 MW claim concerns installed network infrastructure, not parcel headroom. No site MIC, usable demand MVA, connection offer, transferability or energisation date is established.

Demand MVA not published. The landowner’s historic 1,000 MW network claim is not demand capacity allocated to this land. A site-specific grid assessment and current planning route are needed.

Historic generation and industrial use do not establish transferable demand rights. Published capacities retain their original units and scope.

  • Power class D or unverified: score withheld

Land control, import rights, planning and marketing must each be at least partially evidenced for the scenario. A named owner, a planning record or nearby infrastructure does not by itself pass these gates.

Power class D: no score is issued. Only Category A, B or an evidenced strong C route can be assessed.

Scenario fit is an analyst assessment, not a probability, qualification, investment recommendation or proof of financeability. Partial gates still require diligence.

Land control

Identified owner / counterparty
Legal landowner not verified

The submission identifies the family landholding and maps agricultural land with a dwelling. Present registered title and any intervening options, sale or developer rights have not been checked. A future bilateral option or purchase investigation through the landowner’s planning representative is plausible; no terms or availability are evidenced.

Planning & utilities

0 of 10 categories contain evidence. Status applies to the specific claim, not the whole site.

Evidence still needed
  • Planning & decisions

    A current planning decision, conditions and any appeal or court proceedings still need to be checked.

  • Land-use zoning

    The site boundary has not been matched to the current adopted zoning map and data-centre use policy.

  • Grid & import rights

    Site-specific import rights, available MVA, connection milestones and any transfer restrictions remain unverified.

  • Fibre & dark fibre

    No verified site entry, dark-fibre offer or physically diverse route assessment is recorded. Regional coverage alone is insufficient.

  • Ownership & development control

    Legal title, land-owning entity, development-control route and restrictions need verification. A named developer does not establish availability.

  • Land, footprint & access

    Gross and net developable area, boundaries, access rights, easements, setbacks and expansion space need site-specific evidence.

  • Flood, ground & environment

    Flood risk, ground conditions, contamination, ecology, heritage, noise and air-quality constraints have not been fully assessed here.

  • Water, cooling & heat

    Water availability and discharge, cooling technology, peak demand, heat reuse and utility agreements remain to be verified.

  • Demand & location fit

    Customer geography, latency, cloud or exchange nodes and a supported use case need project-specific evidence; national growth alone is insufficient.

  • Programme & delivery

    Permission expiry, commencement, energisation, enabling works, long-lead procurement and phase handovers need a reconciled programme.

Project team

No project-specific team appointments have been verified for this record.
