Biggest constraint最大约束
Power电力
The biggest constraint is power: the federal and Victorian governments have announced that new large data centres must underwrite or bring new supply, and National Cabinet intends legislation on energy, water and land standards for early 2027.最大约束是电力：联邦和维州政府已宣布，新建大型数据中心须为新增电源提供担保或自带电源；全国内阁拟于 2027 年初就能源、用水和土地标准立法。
Solid: actual. Hollow: AEMO forecast (Step Change). Two different measures: connection capacity is the maximum load the sites may draw under their grid agreements; average load is the energy used in a year divided by 8,760 hours. The FY2026 average load is for all of Australia; the other bars are for the NEM. AEMO publishes no forecast of connection capacity. Average load is not capacity: in Q1 2026 the sites drew about 27% of their connection capacity, and AEMO assumes a mature fleet draws 45–51%. At that share, about 1.7 GW of average load in FY2030 would need roughly 3.3–3.8 GW of connection capacity, and more if the fleet is not yet mature (this site's estimate, not an AEMO figure).实心：实际。空心：AEMO 预测（Step Change）。这是两种不同的量：接入容量是站点按并网协议最多可取用的负荷；平均负荷是全年用电量除以 8,760 小时。2026 财年平均负荷为澳大利亚全国数字，其他各柱为 NEM。AEMO 没有公布接入容量的预测。平均负荷不等于容量：2026 年第一季度站点只取用了接入容量的约 27%，AEMO 假设成熟的数据中心群可取用 45–51%。按此比例，2030 财年约 1.7 GW 的平均负荷约需 3.3–3.8 GW 的接入容量；若数据中心群尚未成熟，所需容量更多（本站估算，不是 AEMO 数字）。
