Yeah.
It's one facility for one customer, right?
Uh, you know, there's just fundamentally not enough power there in Northern Virginia to make that happen.
And so, you know, what's happening with AI is like you're seeing everybody start to take an energy first approach to uh developing this infrastructure.
And that's really what led us to Abilene, right?
Abilene is a market where um, you know, there's an abundance of energy, a lot of uh wind.
And particularly uh and solar had been built on the back of production tax credit incentives.
And their problem was actually they didn't have enough demand for energy,
They would frequently get curtailed, which means like they would have to sell power at a negative price.
So they're just shutting down their wind farm.
Um, or pricing would go negative uh and they would sell at a negative price.
Um, so their issue was actually just not enough demand for power.
So it was it was a good natural fit between uh AI uh factories and uh uh you know low-cost, clean, abundant energy.
Um, you know, it's a it's a pretty awesome, you know, setup.
We're gonna account for about
I think the number's about thirty percent of the total tax revenue for Abilene, just like
Right.
Yeah, no, there is actually uh you know, especially during moments of peak demand.
If you if you have peak demand at night, uh diesel generators probably extremely cold night, there's obviously no solar.
Sure.
