- Closed-loop cooling that does not draw from Lake Ontario despite the lakeside location and legacy coal-plant intake; the campus uses only a few gallons of utility water daily.
The New York (NYISO) grid demand right now: 13.8 GW (EIA-930, 2026-09-27 04:00). Lake Mariner Data Campus's announced 0.75 GW would be 5.4% of the grid's current load.
County water status: No drought in Niagara County, week of 2026-09-22 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.
