Hi, I think that's a fair point, I underestimated the power needs. For a 1GW data center, the economical case is probably to build about 2 GWp of solar, plus a 5GWh battery or so. That is not unrealistic: https://masdar.ae/en/news/newsroom/masdar-and-consortium-partners-achieve-financial-close https://masdar.ae/en/news/newsroom/masdar-and-consortium-par... https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/28/catl-secures-worlds-largest-sodium-ion-battery-order-with-hyperstrong/ https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/28/catl-secures-worlds-l... On a sunny day, that will let you to power the data center fully from solar for most of the day, and partially through the night. Obviously you need ~1GW of gas turbine capacity as well, for the non-so-sunny-days, so the economic case for solar here is dependent on the fuel price.
