🇮🇳 India's Data Centre Boom Strains Power Grid

India's ~270 data centres currently consume 0.5% of national electricity output, but demand is projected to reach 3% by 2030 as AI and cloud workloads expand. Mumbai alone hosts 61 sites serving Amazon, Google, and Microsoft — sharing a grid with 20 million users — and data centres could account for a third of the city's electricity by 2030.

India generates roughly 1,900 TWh annually, compared to the US grid's ~4,500 TWh. The US already has over 4,000 data centres consuming more than 4% of national electricity. India's far smaller and less developed grid faces proportionally higher stress from a demand base that is geographically concentrated and growing faster than infrastructure capacity.

Physical grid constraints — not just generation capacity — are the binding bottleneck, with transmission and distribution networks in key hubs at risk of severe strain before the decade ends.

Американские военные нанесли удары по пустым крупным танкерам в Ормузском проливе, сообщает в пятницу Fox News.

"Это были очень крупные нефтяные танкеры класса VLCC. Огромные пустые суда, пытавшиеся вернуться в Иран. Они попытались пройти через блокаду", - приводит Fox News слова неназванного высокопоставленного американского чиновника

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today – our warriors, our combat brigades: the 31st and 67th Mechanized Brigades, the 20th Army Corps. I want to thank you, warriors!

Our defense against Russia’s invasion is not only the defense of Ukraine alone; it is not only the defense of our independence. Russia threatens almost all of its neighbors and all of Europe, not just one country.

And it is in forests like these, on lands like these – in the Dnipro region and in the east of our country, in Donbas, in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions – that previous generations of Ukrainians fought against the occupier in World War II.

And now, here, our Ukrainian heroes are defending the life of the people and the people’s right to life – defending it from this Russian occupier, who so closely resembles the one from the 20th century. We will definitely defend Ukraine’s life and our independence – without a doubt.

The Security Service of Ukraine has struck the Permnefteorgsintez refinery and the associated oil pumping station for the third time. The facilities are located more than 1,500 km from Ukraine’s border.

The refinery is one of the largest in Russia, supplying fuel to both the civilian sector and the military.

The Perm Line Production and Dispatching Station (LPDS) is a key hub in Russia’s main oil transportation system. It distributes oil in four directions, including to the refinery.

According to the SBU, the strike caused a fire at one of the AVT units, a critical component for primary oil processing. One of the storage tanks at the oil pumping station was also hit.

“The destruction of such facilities not only reduces oil processing and transportation volumes, but also disrupts the enemy’s military logistics, complicates fuel supply to occupation forces, and forces the Kremlin to allocate billions of dollars for emergency repairs of strategic infrastructure deep in the rear.”
