Other World Computing, will build the first data center to have 100% on-site wind power to run its operations. The 500 kW turbine is expected to generate an estimated 1,250,000 kilowatt hours per year. This is more than twice as much electricity as is used by all of data center's operations. The facility is grid-tied, and will sell the excess power back to the local utility, as well as being able to utilize grid power as backup during slack wind periods.
