Bumblehive (the Utah datacenter) is just one of many massive infrastructure investment programs NSA is working on. Fort Meade and San Antonio are already online at a similar scale to Utah, with another facility in Maryland breaking ground.
The NSA is Baltimore Gas & Electric's biggest customer, even before the expansion.
- merinid 13y agoReally? We would see that data in FERC http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eqr.asp#.UbFZk_ZATns http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eqr.asp#.UbFZk_ZATns
- dsl 13y agoFeel free to start digging, but from a quick glance your link seems to apply to wholesale rates between power companies. I really doubt commercial customer data is reported.
- merinid 13y agoYou could do something data science-ish and look at how much power Baltimore Electric is buying in comparison to other companies, whilst controlling with Census data and perhaps other industrial activity data, see if there is really a gap in the power they are buying for the type of demand they should getting in a comparable scenario.
