Typical situation no. 54
A developer is preparing a data center of several hundred megawatts. It has land and an RTE exploratory study, and is consulting design firms. The first quotes cover the building, while the power and its date are not yet secured.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Detailed design depends on power, timing and phasing, which are not yet known.
- Design firms rarely handle the connection request itself.
- Every month lost before filing the request shows up at the end of the schedule.
WHAT WE DO
- Review of the exploratory study and capacity sizing.
- Preparation and filing of the PTF request with RTE.
- Definition of phasing and the input data for the future design firm.
- Support with the design firm tender, at the right time.
WHAT YOU GET
- A connection request filed early, with a complete file.
- Clear design input data.
- A sequence of steps that avoids redoing the design.
Typical format: Staged assignment: scoping, request file, follow-up. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
