All the energy produced by a new wind farm to be built in Donegal will be bought by Tech giant Amazon.
According to RTÉ the electricity will be used to supply the company's Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres here in Ireland, which provide cloud based services to businesses all over the world.
Invis Energy will develop the facility at Meenbog, and it will be done without any public subsidies, according to Amazon, meaning it won't be subject to the public service obligation levy.
An Bord Pleanala's decision to approve planning permission for the Donegal development was the subject last year of a High Court application for judicial review from birds of prey conservation organisation, the Irish Raptor Study Group.
However, the matter was later settled out of court and never went to full hearing.
In a statement, Amazon Web Service said, "the developer has secured all necessary permits required to build and operate the wind farm."
