How much energy will Australia's massive new datacentres use?
Several of the datacentres planned for Australia will require 1GW of electricity or more
So how much energy is 1GW?
Almost one-third of the energy output of Eraring power station, the largest power station in Australia, which generates 2.8GW
More than twice the output of Western Downs Green Power Hub, the largest solar farm in Australia, which generates 400MW
More than enough to power Tomago Aluminium, Australia’s largest aluminium smelter, which requires 950MW
Enough to power 1.6m homes, with an average energy consumption of 0.64kW per Australian household
