Anybody who evaluates colocation options purely by price for power consumed, is seriously deluding themselves.

If you're looking at colocation, I hope you have a plan other than ~1kw for $xxx.

I think this is somewhat true.
As a provider of colocation services power most often the highest cost. A lot of people and companies sadly don't explain power usage and how they charge for it.

Some companies sell just a flat fee for the whole circuit, we only do 30A on 208V and charge per KVA with a minimum amount.
Pricing is a huge difference however for power from Seattle to LA or New York.

That being said there are so many factors when looking for colocation, location, network, remote hands, security, staff onsite, redundant network, cooling, backup power. List goes on and on.
