I would hate to be the one to have to pay that electric bill...
We're currently limited to about 1.4 MW (by design limitations). There is a "power upgrade project" in work to allow 2 MW operation, but that is a ways off.

I haven't checked out power consumption at this 1 MW level, but last spring at 800 kW or so, we were using about 23 MW of electricity.
