Butt my bill doesn’t reflect that does it?

Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn’t a typical data center operation assumed to be nearly constant demand, like a pipeline operation? So it’s pure baseload, in my understanding, and thus generation like solar or wind are not helping with this kind of 24/7/365 kind of demand.

Your utility bill has very little to do with the cost to generate electricity and everything to do with the cost to deliver it.

I’m an investor in a large manufacturing facility that happens to have natural gas wells on the property. We actually bought rights to take delivery to supply gas and run generators. The cost savings was staggering, even paying full cost to the royalty owner and operator. (We pay the same as the pipeline.)
