Typical situation no. 37
A regional operator owns a 3,500 m² data center with adjoining offices. It has found that the site falls under the tertiary decree and must set its reference year on the OPERAT platform before 30 September 2027.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The choice of reference year determines the reduction effort required over thirty years.
- The consumption of the data center and the offices must be separated and substantiated.
- Data centers can claim specific conditions, provided they are documented.
WHAT WE DO
- Collection and verification of consumption data since 2010.
- Reasoned choice of the most favourable and most defensible reference year.
- Analysis of the options for target adjustment (modulation).
- Declaration on OPERAT and preparation of the supporting file.
WHAT YOU GET
- A declared and substantiated reference year.
- A realistic reduction trajectory.
- A file ready in case of inspection.
Typical format: Compliance engagement, three to four weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
