Bizarre: Data centres have a total of 15 GW (15,000 MW) in queue for electricity connections in the Netherlands, grid operators just disclosed. That's roughly the current average national power use!

Assuming that they would actually get to build those data centres and get the connections, the new data centres would (at 90% capacity factor) use around 120 TWh/year, as much as all companies and households together use now.
