I have worked in heavy industry and when I worked offshore on production 
platforms I was familiar with most aspects of utilities.

That is true but if you stop and think (no slur intended) you might find 
on reflection it is not really surprising. It is like doing a quick 
mental calculation to see if an answer is in the correct range.
Guesstimate power requirements for 1 server = 200 Watts
Power for 1000 servers in a container (X 1000) 200 KW
Power for 12 containers = 2.4 MW. See no surprise. ;-)
