~$14M/momodeled
| Value kind | modeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Consultant estimate for an illustrative 60 MW US project, combining lost revenue, cost overruns and contractual penalties. It is a delay-cost figure, not a rent quote. |
| Caveat | The guide's roughly $60-65M per month for the same 60 MW block is gross AI-cloud revenue brought forward at ~$12-13B/GW/year. It measures something different and is not a like-for-like comparison. |
