The New York (NYISO) grid demand right now: 12.2 GW (EIA-930, 2026-09-27 08:00). Cayuga Data Campus's announced 0.40 GW would be 3.3% of the grid's current load.

County water status: No drought in Tompkins County, week of 2026-09-22 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.
