I was just coming here to post that. UK/IR power situation must be looking a bit dire.

I wonder what the total power output is. The diesel generator at the 400-room resort I worked at was 1.2MW and can power everything except the Tesla Superchargers. So are we talking over 100MW for a data center?

Bloody hell...

Quoteit was reported that the percentage of metered electricity consumed by datacenters in Ireland reached 14 percent during 2021, a greater proportion than that used by all the rural homes in the country.
