    Heart of the Community

    The GAA holds a special place in the heart of every community in Ireland – it's very much  'Where We All Belong' – and funding is vital for the great work it does. Gavin Weir, Strength and Conditioning Coach with Wicklow GAA, joins host Craig McKechnie to talk about sport in the community and the benefits of businesses playing their part by supporting organisations in areas where they operate. Power & Responsibility is produced by 4TC on behalf of Echelon Data Centres.

    Bringing Offshore Online

    Ireland is committed to having 5GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 37GW by 2050.  Wind energy is the most important renewable energy source for decarbonising our economy and powering critical infrastructure such as data centres – yet Ireland currently produces just 25MW of it. Host Craig McKechnie is joined by Úna Brosnan, Head of Offshore Ireland with Mainstream Renewable Power; and Leo Quinn, Senior Offshore Development Manager with Mainstream Renewable Power, to discuss Ireland's offshore wind potential and the challenges energy companies face when bringing it onshore and online. Power & Responsibility is produced by 4TC on behalf of Echelon Data Centres.

    A Brighter Future

    Conall Bolger, CEO of the Irish Solar Energy Association, joins host Craig McKechnie to explore the relationship between data centres and solar energy. Where does solar fit in the mix of renewables that Ireland must develop to transition to a cleaner more sustainable economy, what are the legislative and regulatory challenges associated with developing large-scale solar renewables and bringing them into the grid, and how can data centres help that process? Power & Responsibility is produced by 4TC on behalf of Echelon Data Centres.

    Space Age Cooling

    Dr Valeria Nico, a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stokes Laboratories in the University of Limerick, joins the podcast to talk about her ground-breaking work on electronic liquid cooling. Developed for the European Space Agency to cool the electronics of small satellites, the micro-pump technology also has huge potential for reducing the amount of energy required to keep servers cool in data centres. No content with solving the cooling conundrum for data centres, Dr Nico is also developing technology to harvest ambient vibration energy and reduce the need for batteries in the Internet of Things.
