If it comes down to not being able to use a small amount more of power, that
shows poor planning. Either because the power company didn't build more
capacity, or because the groups regulating new power plants make it
impossible. I don't think business should be limited because of artificial
limits. Business should be encouraged to do everything possible to limit
power growth. Just raising electricity rates goes a long way to
accomplishing that.

What happens if the government/power company doesn't 'cap' power
consumption, the data centre uses 'too much' and the grid blows?
At least, this way, you can manage it without going belly-up.
