I can help a little with the electrical capabilities at LF.

The voltage delivered is most likely 480 volt 3 phase...for simplicity I will ignore the 3 phase vs. single phase part of the exercise....

480 volts x 4000 amps gives us 1,920,000 watts available...K = 1000 so it’s 1920 Kilowatts

A month has 720 total hours so 720 hours x 1920 kilowatts equals 1,382,400 maximum theoretical kilowatt hour usage per month. Assuming $0.15-0.20 per kilowatt hour gets to an absolute max of $200k-$280k/month.

It turns out that this is all academic since this capacity would be sized to support additional moulding machines as well as the sintering operation and the power would only be a cost when it was actually needed for production. That said the utility cost would be factored into the manufacturing cost and charged as a cost to produce and be reimbursed in the selling price.
