After searching around, it looks about average for a large data center. This link[1] estimates Google&#x27;s data centers require between 50-100MW.<p>50MW is enough power to supply ~14k homes from different references I&#x27;ve seen.<p>I&#x27;m curious about what normal data centers use for backup power since natural gas and diesel generators don&#x27;t get much bigger than 2MW. Or maybe they just don&#x27;t have backup generators.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datacenterknowledge.com&#x2F;google-data-center-faq-part-2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datacenterknowledge.com&#x2F;google-data-center-faq-pa...</a>
