#nzpol Looking into the recent 1GW power hungry data center claim from Jonathan Milne @ newsroom.
Have a look since my other recent posts blew up, I am keeping it simple and verifiable. (Links and annotated images tomorrow as it is laaaate)

Will post more tomorrow. Doing some sanity checks on the numbers for the #datagrid #makarewa data center, and the story from Newsroom about it potentially consuming 1GW is currently unverifiable, and the lines from Manapouri Hydro can only support ~860MW safely, 570 already used for Tiwai.
