Truth to Power - Episode 38 - 04 03 2026

Описание: On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro examines the #windenergy projects in the USA which would benefit from a new power offtake agreement with data centers.

On this week’s episode I’ll take a look at the wind energy projects in the USA which would benefit from a new power offtake agreement with data centers. They are spread across 231 project sites in 31 states, which is approximately 9.4% of the installed capacity for onshore wind energy in the USA.

There are currently more than 31 million enterprise industrial servers installed throughout the USA with a total electricity consumption of approximately 185 terrawatt hours (TWhrs). They have an average power per processing unit (either a central processor or graphics processor) between 500 watt hours and 6 kilowatt hours per unit.

These additions for the data center industry will necessitate approximately 94 gigawatts (GW) of new power generation capacity which would be required to operate at an average capacity factor of at least 32%.

Asset owners and project operators need to leverage data center power sales that can turn around failing projects and use the data center demand as a way to ensure they never run into an asset profitability challenge again.

Have a listen today, and get in touch with your best questions about the global #renewableenergy industry.
