Power Procurement
Custom power strategies grounded in utility expertise, local infrastructure insight, and strong regional relationships. We evaluate all viable pathways including utility interconnection, onsite generation, alternative energy, behind the meter systems, and bridging solutions to deliver scalable, reliable outcomes aligned with project timelines and long term operating goals.
Power
Verification
Assess existing utility capacity and infrastructure at the site level. Validate prior applications, resolve discrepancies in load requests, and confirm assumptions through direct utility engagement.
Power Procurement
Develop and execute detailed utility submission packages, including load ramp profiles, electrical block diagrams, and technical questionnaires. Align with utilities on delivery timelines, phasing, and reliability requirements.
Feasibility & Risk Assessment
Evaluate power infrastructure, upgrade pathways, and associated costs and timelines. Score delivery likelihood and surface risks tied to existing utility plans to inform acquisition and development decisions.
Bridging Solutions & Onsite Generation
Assess alternative energy solutions, including behind the meter solutions, to accelerate market entry and ensure power redundancy. Identify cost-saving opportunities like utility incentives, rate reductions, and rebates.
Representative Utility Company Experience
Utility engagement for data center development is complex and varies significantly by region. Each utility employs its own framework of studies including Contract Studies, Distribution Studies, Steady State Analysis, Short Circuit Analysis, Stability Studies, Method of Service, and Facilities Studies, among others. These engineering reviews form the backbone of utility diligence, but the required technical documentation, underlying assumptions, cost structures, and timelines can vary materially depending on the utility, available capacity, and local substation or transmission constraints.
Beyond that, developers must navigate substation design preferences, construction agreements, energy service agreements, security deposits tied to long lead-time equipment, procurement bottlenecks, and power delivery guarantees. All of this must be managed while aligning load ramps with commissioning schedules and end user demand. Colossus brings institutional experience managing these complexities across diverse markets, providing clients with a clear path through uncertainty and a power strategy built for execution.
