Thanks for sharing the link! 1.3MW really isn’t that high of a load though. Thats a very straightforward load to be able to support via diesel generators. As an example, a typical large datacenter uses an order of magnitude more power, yet stays online following a grid outage.

It's 1743 horsepower.

  Yep, you did the simple math. 2MW generators are rather common place, they even come in portable (as in on a trailer) form.

This is the power consumed by the light source for one photo tool on one line. There are thousands of tools. Material handling robots, compressors, HVAC, pumps, an entire data center within the factory, etc.

  From source article… > For example, a lot of that 1.3 MW went into cooling the system and handling the hydrogen flow used to prevent contamination build up.

  > This is the power consumed by the light source for one photo tool on one line. Actually, it’s not if you read the linked article. Try harder with your indignant reply next time to an entirely factual post. Sheesh! Further, here’s a >one hundred megawatt generator installation (yes, used, but it’s always call for quote otherwise online) for a small fraction of the price of the EUV machine in case I need to further prove my point. https://www.uspeglobal.com/listings/1705462-used-100-mw-2004-used-caterpillar-16cm32c-hfo-fired-diesel-power-plant-generator-sets https://www.uspeglobal.com/listings/1705462-used-100-mw-2004... There’s also multiple GE LMS100 generators installed in Texas and they each provide ~115MW of power. So not unprecedented for installation in the state either!
