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.

Conflicts and scope comparisons

No conflicting pair is recorded. This does not establish that all public statements have been reconciled.

United Kingdom 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.

Country coverage: prepared sources; site-level research not extended. View all country sources and refresh schedules.

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

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.

Earlier capacity notes and source context

100 MW importProject capacity

Campus grid connections reported as secured by GreenScale; not commissioned IT load. Proposed expansion to 300+ MW is separate.

Published claimProject source record

Import rights and connection evidence

Developer reports 100 MW grid connections secured; underlying utility agreement and energisation not reviewed. Future 300 MW expansion excluded.

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

5 of 10 categories contain evidence. Each status applies to its specific claim.

Planning & decisions

Partial evidence

Released DAERA records link the first-building reserved-matters case LA11/2023/1729/RM to Condition 2 discharge application LA11/2025/0037/DC. After earlier objections and revisions, Water Management Unit was content to discharge the final CEMP condition on 13 June 2025. This consultee position does not itself establish the council discharge order or discharge of every condition.

Partial evidence

The council’s connection-route response identifies nearby historic lime/tar remediation under LA11/2021/0909/F and LA11/2016/0229/F. Its study area is a proposed cable/BESS corridor near Coolkeeragh, not proof of contamination across the data-centre footprint. Construction pollution controls also underwent the 2025 CEMP review.

Water, cooling & heat

DAERA’s released consultation raised Culmore 2 wastewater-treatment/sewer capacity and required NI Water agreement or a separate discharge consent where appropriate. The file identifies wastewater dependencies; it does not verify a present cooling-water allocation.

Evidence still needed

Land-use zoning
The site boundary has not been matched to the current adopted zoning map and data-centre use policy.
Fibre & dark fibre
No verified site entry, dark-fibre offer or physically diverse route assessment is recorded. Regional coverage alone is insufficient.
Ownership & development control
Legal title, land-owning entity, development-control route and restrictions need verification. A named developer does not establish availability.
Land, footprint & access
Gross and net developable area, boundaries, access rights, easements, setbacks and expansion space need site-specific evidence.
Demand & location fit
Customer geography, latency, cloud or exchange nodes and a supported use case need project-specific evidence; national growth alone is insufficient.
