Keep doing what you love: building ventures with confidence
While growing demand for hyperscale and edge data centers drives heated competition for suitable locations, critical information on power availability and future-proofing is often fragmented across utility providers, owners, and municipalities—leaving investors to make multi-million euro decisions based on outdated, incomplete, or overly optimistic power assessments.
This opacity not only jeopardizes ROI for buyers and tenants, but also poses reputational and financial risks for brokers and sellers who overpromise or rely on legacy data.
Many geographies lack a harmonized, digital infrastructure for aggregating and keeping current the site-specific power data crucial for real estate diligence.
Utility records are siloed, regulatory requirements are inconsistent across EU countries, and owners are incentivized to exaggerate their power readiness.
Manual data gathering, static property fact sheets, and individual utility consultations exist but are slow, prone to error, and lack auditability; industry consortia exist in select countries but provide limited, non-standardized data.
Category | Score | Reason |
---|---|---|
Complexity | 7 | Requires harmonizing fragmented data, technical integrations, stakeholder buy-in across multi-national boundaries. |
Profitability | 8 | Strong willingness to pay among target clients; reduces risk in high-value transactions; high subscription ARPU. |
Speed to Market | 4 | Time to develop utility integrations, build industry trust, and achieve regulatory compliance will slow uptake. |
Income Potential | 7 | Large clients and recurring revenue streams, but market limited by transaction volume and bespoke integrations. |
Innovation Level | 8 | First large-scale, standardized near-real-time power availability platform in the region. |
Scalability | 6 | Scalable across Eurozone over time but with significant up-front technical and regulatory hurdles to expand country by country. |
PowerMap functions as a digital platform that aggregates real-time power data from utility companies, property owners, and municipalities across multiple regions.
It employs IoT sensors and smart meters to collect live data about power consumption and capacity directly from properties.
This data is verified against utility provider databases and stored in a centralized, harmonized format.
Realtors, investors, and site selectors access this platform through a subscription-based model to get up-to-date power analytics, trends, and predictive insights for potential transactions.
The platform also includes features for aggregating historical data and future infrastructure plans, offering a comprehensive view of power reliability and potential risks.
PowerMap offers a transparent, real-time, and reliable data source that mitigates risks for investors and tenants, accelerates transaction times, and improves decision-making reliability.
It reduces dependency on varied and non-standardized reports from disparate sources, increasing trust among all stakeholders.
Data center site selection; Real estate investment analysis; Utility infrastructure planning; Municipality smart city initiatives; Corporate real estate risk management
Pilot with major utility providers; Beta signups from top data center investors; Successful integration of IoT data streams
The technology stack required for PowerMap is feasible, utilizing IoT devices, cloud-based data storage, and APIs for data integration.
Regulatory compliance will involve working closely with utility companies and navigating diverse regulations across EU countries.
Costs could involve SaaS licensing, integrations, and partnerships with data providers.
The competitive landscape includes consortia and manual data gathering services, but PowerMap's live data and interoperability are unique advantages.
Establish partnerships with key utility providers across Europe; Develop IoT sensor and smart meter integration protocols; Align platform development with EU data privacy regulations; Determine pricing strategies for different market segments; Test market receptiveness through pilot programs in top-tier markets
