Answered from official government electricity rates across the US, EU, and UK.
Every value cited to a source. Never estimated.
This is the maximum power cost of the GPU itself at vendor-stated nameplate TDP — a ceiling, not a meter reading. Each published value carries its rate source, statistical period, currency conversion, and the vendor specification page for the wattage used.
A daily, citable power-cost reference across tracked SKUs and regions — refreshed from the latest bundle. Where no official rate or vendor-stated TDP exists, the value is an em dash. Absence is a signal.
Real draw varies with workload — idle boards pull 10-15% of TDP, inference 40-70%, sustained training 85-100%. No citable per-provider figure exists, so we publish the one number vendors state: nameplate TDP. Configurable ranges use the maximum.
We track the GPU board itself — not host CPU, memory, networking, or facility overhead (PUE). Chip-level draw usually sits below TDP; facility-level power per GPU often sits above it. Both directions are stated, neither is guessed.
Large operators buy power under confidential agreements no one can cite. So we use the one reproducible public layer: official industrial tariffs from national statistical agencies, each with a stated period.
Regions without an official rate, and SKUs without an unambiguous vendor TDP, are never filled in — they render as an em dash. The same rule runs the entire platform: never make the system more helpful than the data allows.

Power tracking follows the same rule as every number here: observed or officially published, cited to the source, and an em dash when the data does not exist.
