I say, Eaton boys are flogging spare capacity on data centre UPS systems to keep lights on in Ireland

Re: Wasted energy

I saw a backup generator kick in once at the start of a power cut.

Driving through the gates of a data centre when the lights went out and there was an enormous bang and cloud of black smoke.

We thought the DC had been bombed (troubled times) but it was the backup generator firing up.

Impressive is an understatement.
