Composite3.88A — Weighted Score

Key Strengths

400kV PSE substation commissioning 2027 — connecting 1.7GW offshore wind
Nuclear plant (3,750 MWe Westinghouse AP1000) planned in commune — transformative
Unprecedented power density — potentially Poland's largest power node outside coal belt
Cheap rural land — S-tier pricing
Campus option with Plot 109 for phased 200-500MW mega-facility

Key Risks

Rural commune — no local IXP (Thinx Gdańsk ~90km)
Small workforce — dependent on Gdańsk/Tri-City commute
Nuclear plant timeline multi-year — not immediate power
Offshore wind connection timeline dependent on construction progress

Power & Grid Infrastructure

WEIGHT: 25%

Power Availability

400kV substation (2027) connecting 1.2GW Baltic Power + 500MW BC-Wind. Nuclear 3,750 MWe planned.

HV Grid Proximity

PSE 400kV Choczewo substation — national grid anchor point. Strongest new HV in Poland.

Connectivity & Fiber

WEIGHT: 15%

Fiber / Connectivity

B+

Exatel ring covers Pomorskie. No local IXP — Thinx Gdańsk ~90km. Needs dedicated fiber build.

Fiber Operators (Validated)

B+

Exatel ring + Orange. No local metro fiber. Needs dedicated fiber build to Gdańsk.

Land & Infrastructure

WEIGHT: 20%

Land & Expansion

Rural commune. Large plots available. Room for phased mega-campus.

Transport Access

Rural. No major motorway. Local roads only. Distance from Gdańsk ~90km.

Zoning / Permitting

Rural/agricultural. Conversion needed. Complex due to nuclear zone planning.

Scalability (>200MW)

1.7GW offshore + nuclear = multi-GW potential. Largest scalability in portfolio.

Environment & Climate

WEIGHT: 15%

Water / Cooling

Baltic coast proximity. Adequate water resources for cooling.

Natural Disaster Risk

Coastal exposure. Nuclear safety zone considerations.

Climate / PUE

Northern Baltic coast — ~7°C avg. Best PUE location in portfolio.

Economic & Workforce

WEIGHT: 25%

Workforce & Talent

Rural commune. Dependent on Gdańsk/Tri-City commute (~90km).

SEZ / Tax Incentives

Polish Investment Zone eligible. Potential for special nuclear zone incentives.

Political Support

Nuclear project brings national attention. Municipality engaged with energy transition.

Market Proximity

Remote from demand centers. Training-only workloads.

Land Cost

Rural Pomorskie. Among cheapest in portfolio. <€5-10/sqm.

Strategic Recommendation

PROCEED — Grid Study + Energa + Land DD

S-tier power potential. PSE 400kV Choczewo substation (commissioning 2027) connecting 1.7GW offshore wind. Nuclear plant (3,750 MWe Westinghouse AP1000) in adjacent commune. Unprecedented power density in Poland. But rural — no local IXP (~90km to Thinx Gdańsk), small workforce. Combine with Plot 109 as phased campus. Ideal for AI training mega-facility (latency-tolerant).
