What share of Ireland's 2021 metered electricity did data centres account for, per the figure cited in the OECD Digital Economy Outlook 2024 chapter (sourced from Ireland's CSO 2023)?
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web search on) answered
Data centres consumed **14%** of Ireland's total metered electricity in 2021 — a figure drawn from Ireland's Central Statistics Office (CSO, 2023) and cited in the OECD Digital Economy Outlook 2024. [...] The data-centre share of metered electricity rose from 5% in 2015 to 14% in 2021, 18% in 2022, and 21% in 2023. This represents a near-quadrupling in eight years.
Regulator text says
data centre energy consumption increased by 144% between 2015 and 2020, accounting for 11% of metered electricity consumed in the country in 2021 (Central Statistics Office, 2023)

ITU-T Recommendation L.1450 – Methodologies for the assessment of the environmental impact of the ICT sector (December 2025)
ITU-T
· INT
· parallel to
· high confidence
· not yet researched
ITU-T L.1450 (December 2025) is the primary technical standards parallel to OECD-LEGAL-0380's assessment framework; both address methodologies for environmental impact assessment of digital/ICT technologies and were updated in the same 2025 policy cycle; confirmed from ITU website fetch and EU Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation (RP 2026) content.
The 2024 OECD Review of Relevance of OECD-LEGAL-0380 explicitly identified the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence as one of the OECD instruments the 2025 revision was designed to align with, and search result snippets from the recommendation text confirm AI and compute environmental impacts are addressed in the revised instrument.
The 2024 OECD Review of Relevance of OECD-LEGAL-0380 identified broadband connectivity as one of the areas requiring alignment in the 2025 revision, with the review confirming the updated recommendation cross-references the OECD Recommendation on Broadband Connectivity.
CODES Action Plan for a Sustainable Planet in the Digital Age (UN/UNEP, 2022)
UNEP
· INT
· parallel to
· medium confidence
· not yet researched
Confirmed from CODES website fetch; the CODES Action Plan (published 31 May 2022, co-founded by UNEP, UNDP, and ITU) pursues parallel objectives to OECD-LEGAL-0380 covering sustainable digitalization and digitalization for sustainability across 2022–2025, though no explicit cross-citation between CODES and OECD-LEGAL-0380 was found in fetched content.
Confirmed from the EU Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation (RP 2026) and EU DG Energy page fetch as mandating data centre energy monitoring and reporting (PUE, WUE, carbon metrics) consistent with OECD-LEGAL-0380's objectives; the directive text does not explicitly cite OECD-LEGAL-0380 but substantively implements equivalent goals.
UK Defra Digital Sustainability Strategy 2025 to 2030
DEFRA
· GB
· implemented by
· medium confidence
· not yet researched
Confirmed from fetch of the gov.uk strategy page; UK Defra strategy implements digital sustainability objectives aligned with OECD-LEGAL-0380 through UK's Greening Government Commitments 2025–2030, as the UK is an OECD MCM 2025 Vice-Chair country; strategy does not explicitly cite OECD-LEGAL-0380.
