Typical situation no. 10
A regional hosting provider wants to open a 2 MW inference data center, expandable to 4 MW, in Occitanie. It is visiting commercial buildings offered by real estate agents, without knowing which ones can actually receive the power.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Listings mention neither available power, nor distance to the primary substation, nor the state of the local grid.
- An attractive building may need two years for its connection, while a less appealing one already has an MV (HTA) substation.
- Ceiling height, floor loading and truck access matter as much as floor area.
WHAT WE DO
- Drafting of a technical brief: power, floor area, structure, access, fibre, surroundings.
- Desk qualification of each candidate building before any visit.
- Visit to the two or three best sites with an expert.
- Initial discussion with Enedis on the selected site.
WHAT YOU GET
- A brief to send to agents and local authorities.
- A qualification sheet for each candidate site.
- A reasoned ranking of the sites.
Typical format: Fixed-fee engagement: technical brief, then site-by-site qualification. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
