How this measure is built
- Definition
- Endpoint of IEA engineering analysis of excess onsite gas-generation infrastructure relative to demand needed to reliably serve critical and variable data-centre load.
- Measure
- One slice of Capacity overbuild ( basis: forecast high, form: level, segment: natural gas ) . Proportion of installed generation capacity built in excess of peak demand requirements. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
