About
StackPath is a monthly, data-led scorecard of Europe's AI infrastructure. It starts with Irish data centres and the power they use, and will widen to other countries and layers once the monthly rhythm holds. It is written by the StackPath team. Every number cites a public source and a date.

Who writes it
StackPath is written by the StackPath team. Phase one covers Irish data centres and power: who is building, where, what power they've secured, and what it means for the grid, water, emissions and money.
Editorial independence
We measure honestly rather than cheerlead: we report bad news as well as good, and we test the arguments against European digital sovereignty instead of assuming them away. Every number cites a public source and date; estimates are labelled as ours; anything we could not check is marked unchecked.
We use only public information.
Conflicts of interest
Google Cloud is one of the hyperscalers measured on this site. Nothing here uses non-public information from Google or any other company; Google figures we cite (such as per-prompt energy and data-centre efficiency) are its own public disclosures.
