Composite4.33A+ — Weighted Score

Key Strengths

480MW ENEA phased power allocation (80+80+160+160MW) with PSE 1GW pending
1,800ha industrial park with pre-cleared data center zoning — unique in Poland
Delta 41-year partnership and City President political alignment
Amsterdam fiber trunk 5km via HAWE backbone — international connectivity
SEZ tax incentives confirmed with DC-specific zoning plan

Key Risks

Small workforce base (70K city) — will need regional recruitment
No local IXP — nearest Thinx Szczecin ~60km
Single DSO dependency (ENEA) for all power phases

Power & Grid Infrastructure

WEIGHT: 25%

Power Availability

480MW ENEA phased (80+80+160+160). PSE 1GW pending. Clear path to multi-GW campus.

HV Grid Proximity

On-site 100kV substation within Stargard Industrial Park. Direct ENEA connection.

Connectivity & Fiber

WEIGHT: 15%

Fiber / Connectivity

Amsterdam fiber trunk 5km (HAWE backbone). Exatel 21,800km ring covers region. Corrected from S: no LOCAL IXP.

Fiber Operators (Validated)

HAWE backbone + Exatel ring. Orange. No Atman/Thinx locally but Amsterdam trunk is key asset.

Land & Infrastructure

WEIGHT: 20%

Land & Expansion

1,800ha industrial park — unmatched in Poland. Pre-cleared DC zoning. Room for multi-GW campus.

Transport Access

S10/S3 expressway junction. Szczecin port 60km. Rail connection available.

Zoning / Permitting

Pre-cleared for data center in spatial plan. No conversion needed. Shovel-ready.

Scalability (>200MW)

480MW phased + PSE 1GW pending + 1,800ha park. Multi-GW campus potential.

Environment & Climate

WEIGHT: 15%

Water / Cooling

Adequate water supply via municipal and Ina river system. No major constraints identified.

Natural Disaster Risk

Low natural disaster risk. Not in flood zone. No seismic activity. No mining subsidence.

Climate / PUE

Northern Poland ~7-8°C annual avg. Excellent PUE potential. Among best in continental Europe.

Economic & Workforce

WEIGHT: 25%

Workforce & Talent

70K city — small but Szczecin metro (400K+) 60km provides talent pool. Will need bus/shuttle program.

SEZ / Tax Incentives

SEZ confirmed with DC-specific zoning plan. Polish Investment Zone eligible. Unique municipal support.

Political Support

Deep relationship built — City President, Park Director, heat reuse plan. 41-year Delta partnership.

Market Proximity

Not a primary market hub but positioned for DACH/Nordic routes via Szczecin/Berlin corridor.

Land Cost

Good municipal pricing within industrial park. Below Wrocław/Warsaw premium levels.

Strategic Recommendation

EXECUTE — Immediate Priority

S-tier primary site. Execute first. 480MW ENEA phased allocation with PSE 1GW pending. Pre-cleared DC zoning in Stargard Industrial Park (1,800ha). Deep political relationships built. Delta 41-year partnership in place. Q1 2027 target go-live. All other sites are expansion candidates around this anchor.
