A Maine utility wants to be an ally with law enforcement in the crackdown on illegal marijuana grow operations — if it can overcome privacy concerns.

      Yep, or all us self-hosters. I have a 200 watt machine that comes on at specified times to run Backups.

      Then there’s solar and batteries. Grow operations could setup a battery farm that charges slowly from the grid so it never shows a spike, and run everything off the batteries.

      It’s expensive, but solves the issue

      Or someone running a couple of 3D printers.

      Are streamers running lathes or what if they’re pulling 1.2kW from the wall?

          500w is pretty conservative for all the RGB needs…
