I would love to get that from PG&E in California. As it is, and with the high cost of energy in datacenters (because it's triply redundant, etc.) I've been researching natural gas power generation at home to power my render farm, instead of putting it in a datacenter.

I can do it for about $0.17/kWh, which is cheaper that the energy I get from PG&E. Fixed cost for the generator is about $7K to power the farm.




i'd factor in wear and tear on the generator there too they aren't meant for 24/7 use.
