Nebraska data centers are required to turn in an annual report to Nebraska’s Department of Water, Energy, and Environment, but some state statutes are preventing the public from seeing just how much electricity and water data centers are using.
That MW figure has no timescale. it is a peak metric from one instant.
53 MW for one second = ~0.015 kWh
53 MW for one hour = ~53 MWh
53 MW continuously for one day = ~1.26 GWh
53 MW continuously for one year = ~462 GWh
There is no guessing as to how often that one datacenter operates at peak power consumption.
