They are building a server farm for AI which will effectively take the grid in the town it's being built at from 85% capacity to 140% capacity.

Increased electricity demand due to AI data centers is driving up electricity costs all over the country. Quote

Increased share of electricity production from expensive forms of electricity production (solar, wind) is also contributing to increased costs of electricity. Quote
