Our method

Four steps. One deliverable: the qualification dossier.

A site only has datacenter value if power, zoning and the municipality are aligned. Our method verifies all three — in that order of mortality.

01

Identify

Mapping of compatible parcels and brownfields: 8,000 to 30,000 m² of surface, distance to substations and HV lines, zoning, road access, site history. Cross-referencing cadastral data, brownfield registers and the field itself — literally.

Deliverable: a shortlist of candidate sites, with owners identified and reachable.

02

Qualify the power

The criterion that eliminates 80% of sites — so we deal with it first. Verification with the grid operator: available capacity at the substation, connection voltage (MV or HV), queue position, connection cost and lead time, possible need for a new substation.

Without a written answer from the grid operator, a site does not enter our pipeline. A rumour of capacity is not capacity.

Deliverable: a grid-connection memo — power, voltage, cost, lead time.

03

Align the authorities

We present mayors and inter-municipal bodies with a quantified project — benefits and constraints. An official properly informed upstream is an ally during review; a surprised official is a legal appeal.

What the site brings

  • 20 to 40 direct jobs in operation
  • ≈ €2.2M / year in local tax revenue
  • Brownfield redevelopment with no net farmland loss
  • Recoverable waste heat (district networks, greenhouses)

What must also be said

  • Noise: < 45 dB(A) at 50 m — measurable, contractable
  • ±18-month construction, heavy-goods traffic
  • Significant power draw on the local grid
  • Few jobs per m² compared with other industries
04

Secure

End-to-end site control: negotiation with owners, sale agreements under suitable conditions precedent (grid connection, permits, studies), land assembly when several parcels are involved, cable easements — through to signature.

Deliverable: a site under control, transferable to the investor or operator.

The deliverable

What a qualification dossier contains.

Ten documents. If one is missing, the dossier does not go out.
