How much is power as a percent of data centre operating expense? What sort of a range do you see?
We are building a high capacity cable to Iceland, which has already become a major aluminum smelting centre due to its cheap geothermal and hydro power, and we've already received inquiries for connectivity to Iceland for data centre opportunities.
I assume that expense and ability to scale the power network are the key concerns of the IT community. And for governments, carbon emissions should matter.
