Clickbait nonsense. It’s a data center that will lease some space for mining, among other things. It will use up to 48 megawatts of electric from the same grid a 2500 megawatt nuclear power plant is connected to somewhat near by. But hey. Got me to click.

The "directly connected" means it's tapped in before it goes to the grid/switchyard. They're not paying the normal tariffs and delivery fees as if they were connected to the grid. But yes, it's just a zero-carbon (hello incentives) data center where some of it may mine bitcoin.
