Tell that to datacenters
AFAIK many datacenters try to build their own generators/powerplants. Also datacenters are at one location, not sparsely around.
That makes it worse. Feeding a little more electricity spread across many locations puts a much smaller strain on the grid than trying to feed a huge amount to one location.
You have only one line to upgrade if you feed it from energy grid. If they have their own PP, it's even less of a problem.
