What every candidate is checked against
Location fit
Inside a market and cluster a written buyer brief asks for.
Potential capacity
Grid capacity the site could plausibly support, stated as grid MW.
Grid position
Documented connection history and the route to a firm offer under that country’s rules.
Planning route
Zoning and the permit path for a data center use.
Land control
Owner situation and the structure to secure it: option, conditional purchase or partnership.
Timing and open conditions
Indicative timeline to ready-to-build and what is still unresolved.
Enter at the stage that fits you
Site control
Joint venture or option-stage partnership once the site meets your requirements.
During development
Staged funding or a conditional purchase tied to the connection offer and permits.
Ready-to-build
Acquire the site, alone or packaged, with land, connection and permits in place.
Process: teaser → NDA → non-binding offer → data room and exclusivity.
