I don't pretend to have a great understanding of what goes into building manufacturing facilities on the scale of Apple/Foxconn, but is the state of the electrical grid actually that relevant?

It seems like that they would be a big enough consumer of electricity that any standard grid would struggle to accommodate them, and they would be doing things like:

- Placing themselves immediately beside the power plant.

- Place their own wires between themselves and the power plant.

- Maybe even build their own power plants (particularly with things like solar/wind that scale down nicely).
