Amazon is reported to have abandoned plans to build a new factory in Ireland due to power shortages
According to reports, Amazon has canceled its plans to build a factory in Dublin, Ireland, due to its failure to ensure a power supply. The cancellation of the factory plan by Amazon is particularly concerning for Ireland amid the looming tariffs in the United States. Ireland's economy largely relies on foreign investment, especially from the United States. These investments have increased the corporate tax revenue for the Irish government, providing substantial financial resources. Reports indicate that Amazon Web Services (AWS) had planned to build a high-tech server rack manufacturing facility for data centers, but the plan was abandoned due to restrictions on the power grid. The factory was expected to employ about 500 people. Due to power shortages, regulators have imposed restrictions on new data centers in certain areas of Ireland. AWS reportedly expressed disappointment at being unable to move forward with the project. The company hopes to make other investments in Ireland "if conditions allow."
