Industrial assets,
designed for AI.

We identify land and industrial buildings in Romania with secured power, assess them and deliver them to operators as single-tenant powered shells — power secured, permitting prepared in parallel, a documented asset.

How the method works
01 · Why now

The market grows almost fourfold.
Power is the scarce resource.

Romania starts from a small base and is accelerating — and what limits growth is not demand, but the time it takes to access power. That is exactly where our platform works.

Market today
~100 MW

of operational data centres across Romania — industry estimate, 2026. A small base, on a market that is only getting started.

2030 horizon
370 MW

data-centre consumption in Transelectrica's realistic scenario; 680 MW in 2035. Optimistic scenario: 620 MW in 2030, 1,080 MW in 2035.

Grid connection time
Years, not months

grid connection takes years, not months: large projects approved in 2026 have commissioning dates at the end of 2030.

Our answer
Powered shell

assets with secured power, delivered to operators ready for fit-out — the short road from megawatts to revenue.

02 · Method

A platform that can be audited,
not a promise.

Every site we bring to market passes through the same five gates. We publish the method because our partners — operators and investors — fund evidence, not renderings.

  1. GATE 01

    Sourcing

    Power first: land or industrial buildings with a secured connection, applied for or already in the connection procedure, industrial zoning, expansion reserve.

    EVIDENCE · grid connection file, land register
  2. GATE 02

    Assessment

    We establish what the asset really offers — power, structure, permitting path — on existing documentation, with verifications only where the stage of discussions justifies them.

    EVIDENCE · technical documentation, targeted verifications
  3. GATE 03

    Power

    Connection rights, secured through the grid operator's studies; the dedicated substation, developed to the operator's specifications.

    EVIDENCE · grid operator studies and approvals
  4. GATE 04

    Permitting

    Planning classification is verified first; where the conversion requires it, the zonal urban plan is prepared in parallel with the grid connection — from the urban planning certificate to the building permit.

    EVIDENCE · certificates issued, permitting file
  5. GATE 05

    Delivery

    Single-tenant powered shell: the building, the power and the fibre from us — the IT fit-out, specified and funded by the operator.

    EVIDENCE · handover protocol, power guarantees

Sourcing, assessment and the entire Romanian permitting cycle — urban planning, environment, energy — are handled in-house.

How the method works
03 · Sites

First site, in preparation.
A repeatable pipeline.

Transylvania is the platform's entry point — an industrial asset in conversion, documented step by step and open to visits. We are not selling an operating data centre, but a de-risked site, with the evidence on the table. The next locations pass through the same five gates before they get a name.

Usable heightDOCUMENTEDbetween 6 and 9 m
PowerUNDER WAY45 MW grid solution study, under way with the distribution operator, with room to grow; the maximum capacity will be set by that study. On medium voltage: 1.7 MW approved, with room to grow to 8.5 MW. A dedicated 110 kV substation, developed to the operator's specifications, under the powered shell model
Grid connectionUNDER WAYthe 110 kV line crosses the site's own land and the substation is built on that same land — no easements over third-party property, no connection route to permit beyond the site, with the option of a loop-in loop-out connection
Load capacityDESIGN TARGETfloor slabs that carry the highest-capacity racks, liquid-cooled — without reinforcement
Fire envelopeDESIGN TARGETpassive protection REI 180–240
Cooling conceptDESIGN TARGEThybrid, no water consumption; design PUE 1.12–1.18 or lower
ConnectivityDESIGN TARGETtwo independent fibre routes, quoted by telecom operators; two meet-me rooms planned, designed without a single point of failure

Permitting

Industrial zoning confirmed. The site lies in the industrial activities sub-zone, with hall-type buildings, under the general urban plan in force. The planning indicators are confirmed by the urban planning certificate. The land is not listed as a historic monument and does not lie in a protected area.

Planning documentation for the conversion. The change of use and the 110 kV substation are to be permitted on the basis of a zonal urban plan covering the unified perimeter of both plots, followed by design, approvals and the building permit. The planning documentation starts once the grid solution study, which fixes the connection, is complete.

04 · Sustainability by design

Four commitments, integrated
before design.

These are not aspirations — they are mandatory constraints for any technology installed on our sites. They simplify permitting and give operators and investors a clean ESG file.

D-01

Water-free cooling

Natively compatible with current-generation liquid cooling. No evaporative or adiabatic consumption. WUE ≈ 0.

D-02

Closed circuits

No uncontrolled discharge of any kind. Technical fluids managed on authorised flows, fully traceable.

D-03

On-site treatment

Dedicated treatment plant before the sewer — with reuse for irrigating the premises, measurable circularity.

D-04

Good acoustic neighbour

Designed to legal night-time limits, with guaranteed sound power per equipment and validation by measurements at acceptance.
