POWER STUDY
Power
What the power evidence establishes
The site-specific connection scope has not been established for this record.
Power classDNo qualifying rung
No same-scope, dated import-MVA rung has document-seen or better verification. Nearby infrastructure, IT MW and marketing claims cannot upgrade the class.
The class describes published documentary evidence at its stated date. It does not prove current contractual rights, transferability or an energisation date.
Class describes evidence maturity. Public records do not prove current contractual rights, transferable capacity or an energisation date. This record has not received a complete power study review.

Capacity ladder and evidence
Each rung is a separate MVA claim for its stated site or phase. A missing rung is unknown.

Conflicts and scope comparisons
No conflicting pair is recorded. This does not establish that all public statements have been reconciled.
03
Czechia grid context
Network publications frame the claim. They do not allocate capacity to this site.
No country context entries have been linked to this site. Applicable policy, capacity information and reinforcement dependencies need review.
04
Derived energisation window
Earliest plausible yearUnknown
Latest plausible yearUnknown
The observed inputs do not establish a bounded delivery range. Open bounds stay unknown.
Rule
Use only a same-scope, dated, document-verified capacity rung and an applicable duration to energisation published by the observed site operator. The named process operator and a named source publisher must match that operator. Earliest year is the maximum of stage date plus minimum duration and each evidenced readiness constraint. Latest year is the maximum of stage date plus maximum duration and each published upper constraint only when every required input is bounded. An offer-processing duration is excluded. A missing required input leaves the affected bound unknown; no padding or contractual delivery promise is inferred.
No observed inputs establish this result.
Dependencies driving the range
- Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates: unknown.
- Grid-works planning status and programme: unknown.
- Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme: unknown.
What the earliest case requires
- Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.
- Grid-works planning status and programme introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.
- Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme introduces no later constraint than the earliest case; this remains unverified.
Missing inputs leave the range open
- A dated, document-verified import-MVA rung for the assessed scope.
- An applicable duration from the evidenced stage to energisation, published by and matched to the observed site operator, rather than an offer-processing target.
- Connection-dependent reinforcement scope and completion dates
- Grid-works planning status and programme
- Applicable connection-policy conditions and programme
05
Indicative HV and connection capex
Unknown
Rule and scope
Sum each published complete scope quantity multiplied by the matching published benchmark minimum and maximum. Configuration, voltage, route type, unit, country applicability, currency and explicit price base year must match. No assumed route length, transformer count, exchange rate, inflation, fee uplift or partial index is inserted. The result is an indicative benchmark band, not an operator quotation or contractual connection charge.
No observed inputs establish this result.
Scope questions
- Obtain a published complete connection scope with voltage, configuration and measured quantities.
- Establish that every necessary connection-work component is included in the published scope.
- Identify network and customer works, upstream reinforcement, land and wayleaves, taxes, fees, securities, contingency and the price base.

4 MW ITProject capacity
Initial phase-one IT module in Cordiant's 2026 results; full campus design is 17.3 MW IT. These are development capacities, not operational MW.
Published claimProject source record22 MW unspecifiedPower supported by 2N infrastructure
2N-supported subset of the reported 26 MW site power, per Cordiant's June 2026 filing; not an additional allocation or verified import entitlement.
Published claimCapacity source26 MW unspecifiedReported site power
Site power reported by Cordiant, including the 22 MW with fully duplicated 2N infrastructure. Utility contract and available headroom are not published.
Published claimCapacity sourceImport rights and connection evidence
Cordiant reports 26 MW site power, including 22 MW supported by fully duplicated 2N infrastructure. Import rights remain unverified; initial 4 MW IT and 17.3 MW full-build customer capacity are separate.
IT load, facility demand, import capacity and equipment ratings retain their stated scope. A published figure does not establish spare or transferable supply.
Planning & utilities
10 of 10 categories contain evidence. Each status applies to its specific claim.
Planning & decisions
Partial evidencePrague 16 stormwater decision P16-008411/2025/OŽP of 21 January 2025 cites main-campus siting decision MMpB-SÚ/443/24-965/2024-Ptá of 19 November 2024. It did not then hold the main building permission; CRA subsequently reported that permit in July 2025. The drainage works must finish within two years of legal finality, which remains unverified.
Sources & next check
Land-use zoning
Partial evidenceEIA STC2745 identifies the campus building plots as TI technical-infrastructure land under the local plan. It separately identifies 114 m² of forest land required for entrance widening.
Sources & next check
Grid & import rights
Partial evidenceCordiant reports 26 MW site power, including 22 MW supported by fully duplicated 2N infrastructure. Import rights remain unverified; initial 4 MW IT and 17.3 MW full-build customer capacity are separate.

Fibre & dark fibre
Partial evidenceCRA names five optical partners; connections are partly complete and partly under construction. Bought/leased infrastructure and new routes are described.
Sources & next check
Ownership & development control
Partial evidenceCRA says it owns the former transmitter site. Third-party development control is not established.
Sources & next check
Land, footprint & access
Partial evidenceThe authority screening file identifies 53,764 m² and Jíloviště parcels 505/2, 505/3, 505/14, 527–538 and building parcels st.375, st.376, st.377 and st.379. This is the assessed campus footprint, not available land or a title extract.
Sources & next check
Flood, ground & environment
Partial evidenceScreening decision 010565/2025/KUSK, file SZ_157669/2024/KUSK, dated 22 January 2025, concludes that EIA STC2745 need not undergo full assessment. Its scope includes standby diesel and fuel storage. This is screening, not proof of all environmental permissions or condition compliance.
Sources & next check
Water, cooling & heat
Partial evidenceWastewater works decision P16-009601/2025/OŽP approves temporary treatment/sewer works pending public-sewer connection, but expressly requires separate water-use permission for enforceability. Its cover says 21 January 2024; proceedings and the paired stormwater decision identify 21 January 2025. No abstraction or cooling-water entitlement is established.

Demand & location fit
Partial evidencePolarise reports an LOI reserving 15 MW for AI cloud. Binding occupancy and campus operation by Polarise are not established.

Programme & delivery
Partial evidenceDeveloper material targets H1 2028; Polarise describes mid-2027. Neither is achieved energisation.
