In the Countdown example, they’d have to make sure their power use was matched by what the generator was putting in, in which case they can accurately claim they sold the power to countdown. They may well be paying significantly more per MWH than someone buying coal or gas generated power at the same time.
While it may seem bizarre, it’s how our energy grid and market works.

It’s a made up example. but yeah, plenty of places claim to be powered by this or that and I doubt they are counting the timing of it in their claim.
I’d be shocked if they weren’t myself.
I wonder if we’ll ever know.
