>Wait… large customers move in and your rate goes up?
demand goes up + supply remains steady = price goes up.
demand goes up + supply remains steady = price goes up.
You want to build an enormous energy sink, you should contribute to increasing the local supply!
Putting up everyone’s prices is a hard impact on a community.
i'm not saying it should. but it takes time to bring new power generation online.

agreed
they want to, hence all the natural gas turbines. However, and this is pretty funny, you don't just order those using doordash or turn up a knob like on AWS. It takes years, if not decades, for those things to get manufactured, delivered, installed, and on line. He who shall not be be named here mentioned in a interview how all these software guys are going to get painful lesson in hardware when they start trying to build behind the meter power generation.
(And the marginal cost on infrastructure isn't necessarily paid be the people increasing the demand)
