Sample member dossier

What a member receives for each site that passes screening. Built from a real site with its identity and figures redacted; the full version is released to members.

Illustrative. Identity, parcel, figures and cost estimates are redacted. No return or valuation is shown or implied.

1. Site summary

Former industrial site in a court-run administration, offered through the administrator. [Identity, address and parcel references released to members.]

2. Grid evidence

  • Historical connection and consumption profile of the former plant. [Figures released to members.]
  • Nearest substations and published capacity at the relevant nodes.
  • What the operator must still confirm, and the expected route to a connection offer.

3. Land and title

  • Owner, administrator and sale process, with deadlines.
  • Registry extract: charges, easements, existing leases.
  • Contamination and demolition status.

4. Permit path

  • Zoning and the steps to permit a data center on this land.
  • Regional permit climate (scored 78/100 from planning evidence).
  • Rules that apply, with links to the rules tracker.

5. Cost-to-ready-to-build items

  • Option or purchase structure and timing.
  • Grid studies, connection fees and guarantees.
  • Planning, legal and specialist costs. [Estimates released to members.]

6. Risks

  • Grid: whether the operator grants the needed capacity, and when.
  • Process: administrator timetable and competing bidders.
  • Planning: local acceptance of a data center use.

7. Next decision

Whether to form a vehicle and secure the site, the capital needed for that step, and the deadline. Members decide individually whether to join.
