Heathrow average load was 55MW (in 2016). 220MW for a data centre? The largest in the world (in China) is 100 hectares and takes 150MW. I think your interviewee meant 4x the computing load of Heathrow.

The guy speaking had around 30 something MW as LHR figure - for the full airport. He claimed there was a DC opening nearby that'll have a 150MW connection, with 35MW in use now, and with a more backup generators than they need just yet. His point was backup capacity is not out of reach for LHR
