A planned data center at the former Androscoggin Mill in Jay, Maine
"The data center, built as a small language model, would use less than 1% of the water once consumed by the Androscoggin Mill. The center’s solar system would generate up to 150 megawatts of electricity. On cloudy days with little or no solar output, the facility would draw no more than 25 megawatts from Central Maine Power Co."

150 megawatt solar plant at a data site that will operate on 25 megawatts.
What is the plan for the other 125 megawatts.
Perhaps this is misinformation?
