The Veolia team fueling Ireland’s data centre expansion

Every time we stream, search or scroll, data centres are working in the background to keep everything connected. But what it takes to power them and the energy centres behind them is something most of us never see.

In this episode of Our People Podcast, Beth Krucien speaks with Brian Curtis, General Manager at Veolia Energy Services Ireland, from Veolia’s new energy centre in Clondalkin, outside Dublin.

Brian explains how the site generates and supplies power to data centres, what makes the process so efficient, and why this work is critical in a world that never stops using data. He also shares the story of the people behind the site, from experienced Veolia colleagues to new team members learning and growing in a fast-moving sector.

Listen now to hear how Veolia Ireland is helping lead the way in keeping the energy centres that fuel data centres running.

What is Veolia - Our People Podcast?

Every day, the people of Veolia work hard to deliver essential services across the UK and Ireland – whether that’s by sorting waste to be recycled, treating wastewater to be reused, providing clean energy to customers and communities or supporting all activities from our corporate offices. But with 14,000 resourcers across over 400 sites, it’s hard to keep up with all the amazing things that our people do…

That is why we’ve created Veolia’s ‘Our People’ Podcast. In each episode, we’ll sit down with our colleagues, heading into the heart of our business and celebrating the brilliant work they achieve. Through real, open and honest conversations, we’re going behind the scenes to find out what drives our resourcers to do the work they do.
