There will be a scramble of datacenters to geographies where electricity is available. The main datacenter's business will be airfreighting storage and servers to these lower energy costs datacenters. "The Americans living closest to the nation’s capital may feel the brunt of this crisis, as the nation’s largest electrical grid manager — which covers D.C., Maryland, Virginia and 11 other states — says it will have to increase prices for on-demand, reliable electricity up to 1,200% in the coming year. The Virginia territory, where prices went from $28.92 ($/MW-day) to $444.26, is also home to Loudoun County, which claims to house the world’s largest concentration of data centers and the majority of Virginia’s entire data center industry. Republican leaders are blaming clean energy policies for the electricity price hikes. Clean energy advocates have responded by blaming the grid operators and utilities for failing to plan for the transition. Grid operators blame siting and permitting issues, arguing that developers aren’t building the projects that do get approved. The disagreement threatens to jeopardize the future of the energy transition and the Biden administration’s climate goals." But the fact is: IT IS THE DEMAND! Datacenters gobbling energy Datacenters in Kenya. Power lines to hydroelectric power plants in Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia already in place. Voila! Nairobi Digital Realty are going to need a bigger site for the third datacenter here in Nairobi. Equinix need to make a move here in Nairobi too. There will be a cry in the media: They are moving the datacenters to places where the energy is dirty, probablyt meaning South Africa, and we here in Nairobi, smiling.
