Yep. The amount of power that can be pulled to a building is a difficult thing to change. So the biggest cloud companies try to maximize the amount of power used for compute. There is a metric for this called Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). It’s the ratio of totally energy usage to energy used for compute. Most modern cloud companies have PUEs <1.3. Here’s a great link showing Google’s PUE. https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/efficiency/ https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/efficiency/ The data centers in Ashburn, Virginia are mostly leased facilities and these kinds of facilities are more of the traditional raised floor air conditioning type facilities. However these facilities are also quite efficient with PUEs in the 1.6 range. https://sustainability.equinix.com/environment/energy-efficiency/ https://sustainability.equinix.com/environment/energy-effici...
