Influence: Datacenter vs transmission lines
Hi experts,
I'm a new comer and tend to work in datacenter section. I read lots of book these days (including TIA-942A standard). There're lots of new terminologies that I dont understand much (I think I understood 60% of them). So please excuse the newb question here.
Yesterday I read an article named The art of Datacenter, It has the Facebook datacenter design which mention about the reason why Facebook chose Prineville, Oregon to locate the Datacenter:
"The number one reason was that we could easily reduce the operating costs. And
the utility rate was low because we were closer to the main transmission lines."
Can you show me how the transmission lines cause bad influence (low utility rate) to datacenter operating costs please?
Any of your helps would be very appreciated,
Thanks!
Faith
