Ya I doubt that the people in charge know that their electric bill is going to go up 600 dollars. Here is the conversation.

CFO: Why did our electric bill go up $600 dollars?
IT: We let a developer run a SP35 server FOC. Must be using a lot of electricity.
CFO: Unplug it right now. No way we are covering a $600 dollar bill.

If this were your business would you be ok with a $600 dollar increase in your electric bill?

You presume a lot with this post, it's entirely possible that could happen but I sure hope the basic questions like how much power would be used were asked by the authority approving permission..

We allow things like that to run knowing exactly what it will cost, the treatment of facility costs vary depending on the business but in our case it is a fringe benefit for employees and we know exactly what we are doing.. Another local facility provides 220V 30A as a benefit for the same purposes, in short while you make a valid point it's entirely possible it's no issue for them...

Yes I presume a lot. Could his work be ok with the increased cost of hosting a SP35? Sure. He could be trading his services for the hosting of his equipment. In this case it could be a good exchange for both parties. If everyone is aware of what is going on and ok with it then I say more power to him and why not buy a second SP35 and have them foot the electric bill. If they really don't know and he values his job then better make sure they are aware so he doesn't get fired. All I am saying.
