With the ever-growing Internet, access to instantanous information becomes a necessity in day to day usage of the Net. Search engines like Google, Yahoo and AltaVista have ever-growing need of ways to store data on computer servers and electricity is a prerequisite for running datacenters. Conventionally electricity is delivered from local power companies under a Power Purchase Agreement for some years. With KAPS geothermal power plants it is now an option to place KAPS and the datacenter next to each other, using locally what is needed of the computer operation electricity and sell the rest to the local power grid. In this way the datacenters get basic power from the KAPS but interact with the Grid, delivering excess power to the Grid and receiving reserve power from the Grid in case of maintenance or failure of the KAPS. Geothermal is a basic energy source that is not governed by seasonal change as for hydro power plants. Geothermal does not depend on weather on surface of the Earth like wind turbines need wind or solar power needs sunny skies to be operational. The most reliable source of electrical power for data centers is geothermal environmental friendly renewable energy.
