Re: Infomart Dallas is on generator
This should not come as a surprise. It's not uncommon for Texas DCs to do this in the Summer to reduce load on the grid during very hot days. They are often notified a few days in advance and compensated for it beyond fuel cost and equipment wear & tear. With all the hubbub lately, they knew this was coming. It serves 2 purposes: A, a data center can basically be paid to run on generators, and B, they can control when and how gracefully they transfer load (can give generators the opportunity to warm up, a luxury they seldom have) because they may end up losing utility at some point regardless. - Matt On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 7:31 AM Keith Stokes wrote: > Equinix DA-2 reported loads transferred 3-4 a.m. > > > > -- > *From:* NANOG on behalf of > Robert DeVita > *Sent:* Monday, February 15, 2021 4:51 PM > *To:* Eric Kuhnke ; nanog@nanog.org list < > nanog@nanog.org> > *Subject:* Re: Infomart Dallas is on generator > > Hopefully the other 400mw in Dallas follow their lead. > > Robert DeVita > Founder & CEO > Mejeticks > c. 469-441-8864 > e. radev...@mejeticks.com > -- > *From:* NANOG on behalf > of Eric Kuhnke > *Sent:* Monday, February 15, 2021 4:10:32 PM > *To:* nanog@nanog.org list > *Subject:* Infomart Dallas is on generator > > I have now heard from two reliable sources that Infomart Dallas is > presently on generator, and is likely to remain so until the cold > weather/electrical supply emergency in Texas has abated.

Re: Infomart Dallas is on generator
>From the latest update it sounds like rolling power outages in Dallas as most places in Texas (We have several other sites affected as well) so they probably figure to just leave everything on generator (All Equinix DCs, not sure on others) for more stable power. I just got an update that refueling trucks coming tomorrow at 10am.
