Key Strengths

  • HAWE Telekom HQ only 20km in Legnica — direct dark fiber procurement advantage
  • Panattoni Park + CTPark Legnica nearby — confirmed industrial infrastructure
  • LSSE SEZ with active incentives
  • Cheap land — well below Wrocław pricing

Key Risks

  • Weak grid — needs KOS study, no confirmed HV substation capacity
  • Rural workforce — limited local talent, dependent on Legnica/Wrocław
  • WRIX Wrocław ~65km — not adjacent to IXP

Strategic Recommendation

CONDITIONAL — HAWE Fiber Quote + Grid Study

B+ upgraded by HAWE HQ proximity (20km Legnica). Direct dark fiber procurement feasible. Panattoni Park and CTPark Legnica confirm industrial infrastructure. LSSE SEZ. Needs Tauron KOS grid study (weak grid suspected). If grid passes → strong lower-cost alternative to Wrocław metro sites.
