That is the problem, there is NOT enough power on site to run a datacenter. The article quoted one location with 127ksqft and 5MW. 5MW is tiny for that footprint. To give you an idea, you need to roll at least 300-400w/sqft of power/cooling to be viable, calculate in UPS and other losses, and 5MW powers around 5000sqft of datacenter space which is only a couple hundred racks of servers and storage. They're probably going to need 40-100M to retrofit that space, so I'd say the math is not on their side...

This reads like a realestate person proposing this, not a datacenter person...
