Typical situation no. 30
An asset manager is launching a digital infrastructure fund classified under SFDR Article 9 of the EU regulation. Its first assets will be regional data centers. Investors are asking for precise, verifiable metrics.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The PUE reported by an operator is not always measured using a comparable method.
- Water consumption, the origin of electricity and heat reuse are rarely tracked.
- The data must hold up over time, not just at the time of acquisition.
WHAT WE DO
- Definition of a list of relevant, measurable metrics.
- Verification of each asset's ability to produce this data.
- Recommendations on metering, calculation method and reporting frequency.
- Alignment with European reporting obligations for data centers.
WHAT YOU GET
- A metrics framework with calculation methods.
- A diagnostic per asset.
- An annual reporting template.
Typical format: Scoping engagement, three to four weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
