Yes, depending on DC customer mix there can be constant maintenance/upgrades/changing network routing/etc./etc. Last I checked DCs consume about 1-2% of total electrical in the US. Not sure re. Europe. Many of the big DCs have very good PUEs - under 1.2. This means the energy used for cooling is pretty low. Putting servers underwater at Avila Beach is better as MS was looking at. Still IMO - not a great idea.
