The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein generating the power conservation action includes adjusting the usage of electrical components within a building to minimize power spikes or ensure that the power remains below a threshold, wherein adjusting the usage of electrical components includes, during a certain period, turning off, or reducing the use of, HVAC components in the building, industrial electrical components in the building, or auxiliary electrical components associated with the building. 3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein generating the power conservation action includes temporarily storing data in a first, lower power tier of the data storage devices, before migrating the data to the data storage devices in a higher power tier. 4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the data processing enterprise comprises two or more data processing cells, wherein individual hardware devices in the cells have different power consumption curves,wherein similar classes of devices have similar power curves, but wherein the similar power consumption curves differ based on an age of a device or environmental conditions in which the device operates,wherein the data processing enterprise stores the power consumption curves in at least one data structure, andwherein the generating includes comparing the received external data and the received power requirements data to at least one stored power consumption curve. 5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 4 wherein the power conservation action comprises a schedule policy that specifies when to perform data storage operations or how often to perform data storage operations, wherein the schedule policy comprises: determining a substantially optimal time within a time window to perform the data storage operations that satisfy a specified power requirement,aggregating small data storage operations to reduce a number of times a disk drive or tape drive is powered up, ormoving an operation to a time period when power consumption in a building is forecasted to be lower. 6.
