    100% powered by renewable energy

    Is the supercomputer off the grid and powered by an independent renewable source?

    The EU says that JUPITER “runs entirely on renewable energy” to limit its impact on the environment. Lippert says that this is achieved by paying to use only renewable energy from Germany’s national grid.

    Oh, so it’s greenwashing nonsense and the computer uses the same grid everybody uses, which is only in part powered by renewables. Go figure.
