The trouble is I think that a solar farm, say, would have to be pretty huge to supply the power demand of just one mega data Centre. Remembering of course it would need a huge battery facility, also dedicated to the data centre.
I’m suspicious that the big tech companies could use data centres power demand as a way to force Australia to start installing small fission nuclear reactors dedicated to data centre supply.
Time for the government to stand up to this bullshit.

NEW GREEN ENERGY STORAGE BATTERIES BEING DEPLOYED
🌞 Critical need for storage of excess solar and wind energy has been difficult to fill.
📈 This new practical method from Energy Dome in Italy requires no rare minerals and is being deployed at scale, indicating early acceptance.

#California’s #PowerGrid passed the reliability test this #HeatWave. It’s all about giant #batteries
By Ari Plachta
Updated July 16, 2024"California’s power grid emerged from a nearly three weeklong record-setting heat wave relatively unscathed, and officials are crediting years of investment in #RenewableEnergy — particularly #GiantBatteries that store #SolarPower for use when the sun stops shining.
"'This was a good early test that we passed in very good shape,' said Elliot Mainzer, president and CEO of California Independent System Operator (#CAISO), on Monday. 'Investments in new clean energy and in dispatchable battery storage played a major role.'
"CAISO last issued calls for voluntary conservation two years ago, during a 2022 bout of #ExtremeHeat. Since then, roughly 11,600 megawatts of new #renewable energy sources have come onto California’s electricity grid. That includes 10,000 megawatts of battery power, enough to power 10 million homes for a few hours. California is now home to the most #GridBatteries in the world outside of China, Mainzer said. 'Batteries performed very well in this event, they were charged and ready at the right times for optimization on the grid,' he added. 'That made a big, big difference.'"
