What does it take to power the world's largest data center? Apparently, only some wind and hydroelectric power.<br /><br />Being built near the Arctic Circle, the facility will take advantage of nearby wind and hydroelectric power. It's expected to consume roughly 1,000 MV of power. <br /><br />The facility's arctic location allows for open-air cooling, cutting the power budget by 60 percent. American data centers consume almost 2 percent of all electrical power, but this Arctic facility could be a model for the future.
