    With how common LEDs are nowadays it’d probably be hard to spot a difference between a small grow operation and a 14-hour-a-day streamer. A consistent 1200+ watt jump at around the same time, day in and day out in both scenarios

      Yep, or all us self-hosters. I have a 200 watt machine that comes on at specified times to run Backups.

      Then there’s solar and batteries. Grow operations could setup a battery farm that charges slowly from the grid so it never shows a spike, and run everything off the batteries.

      It’s expensive, but solves the issue

        2 computers, one with a capture card, a digital audio converter, lighting, etc etc. Main rig might be pulling 600ish watts but there’s probably 500 watts of miscellaneous other stuff

          500w is pretty conservative for all the RGB needs…
