  • Available import, export and firm-power concept.
  • Three to five fibre or interconnection candidates rather than nearest-only distance.
  • Facility footprint, access, cooling conditions and planning envelope.
  • PV supply, grid supply, BESS and backup topology.
  • IT load, utilisation, PUE and ownership or lease structure.
