Several of the datacenters I spoke to before renewing with XO, told me their
power prices were based on what they pay. I went and found somewhere burried
in PG&E website the tarifs and verified XO and one other datacenter. XO is
selling us the power at a loss if they are paying that PG&E tarif, the other
datacenter (I doubled the amount of power we would draw to cover the power
needed for cooling), it was pretty much that PG&E tarif.
