This building likely powers the whole complex below it using energy captured from the ionosphere. The potential is something like 100V for every 30 feet depending on altitude above sea level. Tall building = nearly free energy. Many people wonder how it is possible to afford to power such huge buildings, but never connect the dots. They are largely self-powered.
I can't find a link to it but I saw an article awhile ago that said there is underground electrical circuitry using anodes and cathodes beneath the Burj Khalifa that keeps the foundational pilings from oxidizing. It's a smart solution and is similar to how underground pipelines are protected.
Sorry, but no such approach. The potential gradient is real and affects the formation of thunderstorms. But the current available is very low. Classroom Van de Graaf generators can produce potentials of up to 400,000 volts, but are driven by a motor that is probably less than 1 horsepower (and the recharge current power will therefore be smaller). If this approach were viable, every house would have an aerial on a mast to provide power.

That is what we use on oil pipelines.
