Power Outage at Stanford University

Didn't Stanford have a Cogen facility there? I think they greenified the original GE plant. But does it not supply some needs or did they completely cut the cord?

I believe there used to be one, but it got knocked down to build the new Neuroscience / Chem-H building on campus drive? I thought they put auxiliary backup power system in as part of the hospital expansion, but it might only cover the hospital?

Oh, Ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize they didn't replace the generation capacity elsewhere --but yeah the hospital would take precedence over university operations.
