Comment on Data centers have hiked electricity prices on the public by $23Bparent

Comments

Yes datacenters inccrease the prices here but they don't get a cheaper price then everyone else. There is a massive difference there.

Concrete examples? Quick google only shows small discounts for DCs relative to other wholesale industrial consumers, which could be partially explained away by the flat load, lack of stability concerns, no need for power factor correction hardware, etc. I think 'bidding up the market' is the dominant mechanism, here in Australia (spot market + futures) consumer prices are projected to increase 26%.
