The problem. A data center project moves on several fronts at once, and the weakest one sets the date. These twelve questions place your project in two minutes and show which points to address first.

1. Land control

2. Grid connection document

3. Capacity confirmed in writing versus need

4. Power requirement quantified (cooling and phasing included)

5. Energisation date

6. Long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear)

7. Planning and permits

8. Local context

9. Water and waste heat (ERF above 1 MW)

10. Customer or end user

11. Financing

12. Project steering

Points to address first

    Indicative scorecard based on your answers. It does not replace a review of the project documents.

    HOW IT WORKS

    A first conversation. You describe the project and the decision at stake. We tell you whether we can help, and who will be involved.
    A confidentiality agreement. Signed before you send us any document.
    A written, fixed-fee proposal. Scope, deliverables, timeline and fees set in advance: no open-ended time-based billing.
    The assignment and debrief. A written deliverable, a debrief session, and the questions to put to the grid operator or your partners.

    WHAT WE COMMIT TO

    Recent assignments

    Review of connection documents and the announced energisation date for a European data center developer, ahead of its investment decision. Audit of high-voltage equipment sourcing for a petrochemical group.

    Independence

    We do not design, build or sell equipment. No commission, no brokerage. Never on both sides of the same project.

    Framework

    Confidentiality agreement before any document. Professional liability insurance. Best-efforts obligation: only RTE and Enedis commit to capacity and a date.

    DESCRIBE YOUR SITUATION

    A few lines are enough: the project, the document or decision at stake, and your deadline. We come back to you to set up a first conversation.

    First conversation confidential and with no commitment. Fixed fees proposed in writing before any assignment. Best-efforts obligation.
