Benjamin HayesGUEST
Things like a diff- additional infrastructure, water lines, electric lines, infrastructure like that, plumbing, pressure on electric st- electricity markets, uh, the demand itself.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
Water demand can vary from as much as 20,000 gallons a day at a small site at an existing facility, say the one in Lancaster County or the old printing press, to millions of gallons a day, like, like in Homer City or up in, um, in the, uh, facility up there in the Berwick area.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
Uh, there's land conversions.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
They're converting, uh, land, farmland over to industrial facilities, and then there's these long-term financial obligations.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
Smaller units there can withdraw from public, from a river, um, or a public water supply without even getting that permit there.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
So the operational water footprint is both a direct use of water at the plant as well as the electricity-related consumption.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
So those million gallons that you're talking about that, um, on a large hyperscale data center like Homer City, for example, the water consumption could be exceed a million gallons a day.
Benjamin HayesGUEST
Um, it's not uncommon at all for them to exceed, uh, 500,000 gallons a, a day.
