225 Megawatt Data Center in Chicago
Data Center Knowledge posted this morning about a 225 Megawatt data center being built in Chicago. Considering the data centers announced recently average about 10-20 Mw, this seems huge. It makes one wonder what kind of data centers aren’t announced. Governments surely have their own secret data centers that dwarf most.
Apparently 1 Megawatt is enough to power 10,000 homes.. Buying flourecent bulbs hardly seems significant. I’d like to know how the carbon footprint of one of these data centers compares to that of a comparable number of homes.
