Nvidia and openAI are talking about building a 10GW data centre.
So. We gots a big number. Let's look at it.
How much is 10GW? Well the UK has a typical day time electricity consumption of ~40GW. Meaning that this one single data centre is looking to use the same amount of electricity as a quarter of the UK. In a single installation. A quarter of the electricity of the 6th largest economy in the world. A single data centre.
Or put another way. It needs power from 3x sizewell C nuclear plant.
