Power density is the exact metric by which datacenters are differentiated between “hyperscalar” (i.e. what most people call “AI datacenters”) v. your run-of-the-mill colocation DC.
Also: a flat MW cap per DC is straightforward to game by splitting one big DC into multiple smaller DCs.

Total regional power demand is what affects consumer prices, not demand density. > Also: a flat MW cap per DC is straightforward to game by splitting one big DC into multiple smaller DCs. "Gaming" regulations like that is called fraud. This is irrelevant either way because the regulation applies per organization, creating subsidiaries to sneak things past won't help.
