Illustrative flexible grid connection study

Could this data centre bring capacity online earlier?

Explore a 3D data-centre campus, the controller, battery sizing, and the potential value of an earlier grid connection.

ILLUSTRATIVE NET VALUE OF EARLIER CAPACITY
€0Estimated contribution after modelled battery and integration costs. Not electricity savings.

The early-connection business case

Compare the firm-only tranche with a proposed flexible tranche until full firm capacity arrives.

ASSUMPTIONS, NOT A QUOTE
Illustrative net contribution from the earlier flexible tranche
€850k

Conditional on accepted flexible access and commercially occupied IT capacity. Excludes financing, taxes and unmodelled penalties.

Earlier availability24 months
Flexible IT equivalent1.6 IT MW
Potential battery right-sizing€310k
Gross contribution from earlier IT capacity€2.46m
Incremental dedicated BESS CAPEX−€1.50m
Controls / metering / integration (budget)−€100k
Battery losses & cycling (modeled period)−€6k
Modeled gross less incremental costs€850k

Battery right-sizing compares required nameplate MWh with and without approved cooling/compute relief; it is a comparison against an all-battery design and must not be added again to the net result. The gross commercial contribution comes from IT capacity made usable earlier, not electricity bill reduction. GridPass cannot promise accelerated connection without a utility offer or validated control capability.
