And what we're seeing is significant amount of inferencing and training workloads being brought into these markets.
And now that, when coupled with the kind of transmission infrastructure and step-down substation capacity which is available in gigawatt terms, that really is a great opportunity where a lot of inferencing and training workloads are going in.
