Typical situation no. 32
A fund is considering the acquisition of a 6 MW data center. The seller presents a plan that increases revenue by 30% by leasing part of the halls to AI customers, "with no significant investment".
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Denser racks require more power per hall, different cooling and sometimes a different structure.
- The announced spare power capacity may already be contractually reserved for existing customers.
- This assumption shifts the valuation by several million euros.
WHAT WE DO
- Analysis of installed, consumed and contractually reserved power.
- Assessment of cooling and power distribution capacity per hall.
- Costing of the works actually required for the announced densification.
- Opinion on the business plan assumption.
WHAT YOU GET
- A clear note: the assumption is sound, needs correcting, or is unrealistic.
- The budget and timeline for the required works.
- The adjustments to make to the financial model.
Typical format: Targeted review, two weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
