Voltage level and the route to 10 MW+

  • First phase

    5 MW of IT needs about 6.8 MVA, so a 33 kV connection is assumed

    PowerFirst time-to-power model, 5 Oct 2026

  • Route to 10 MW+

    Yes. 20.2 MVA covers 10 MW of IT (about 13.7 MVA)

    PowerFirst time-to-power model, 5 Oct 2026

  • Time to power, 5 MW

    17 to 28 months (P10 to P90), middle 22.5. Confidence high

    Application about 3 months, study 1 to 9, works 7 to 19, energise 1 to 2.

How this was read

  • Site screen: every H3 cell in the network area is scored for power, speed to power and permitting. Each factor carries its date.
  • Time to power: a range for 5 MW of IT, from published quote standards, network data and stated assumptions. P10 to P90.
  • Capital activity: filings and deals within a set distance, from the last 12 months.
  • Distances and counts are derived values only. Grid cell 871942525ffffff.
