Grid-Edge Power Strategy & Monetization Review

What This Is

A strategic roadmap for power procurement, on-site generation (microgrids), and energy arbitrage opportunities.

What I Review:

  • Alternative Power Pathways: Evaluating Fuel Cells, SMRs (Small Modular Reactors), or BESS (Battery Energy Storage) to bypass grid delays.

  • Revenue Stacking: Assessing if the site can sell power back to the grid (demand response) during peak pricing.

  • Regulatory Arbitrage: Identifying local/state incentives for green energy integration that the developer may have missed.

Deliverables: * 15-page Power Strategy Playbook.

  • 3-year projected energy cost-basis model.

  • Vendor/Partner shortlist for on-site energy solutions.

Pricing: * $25,000 – $45,000 per project (contingent on MW scale).

Institutional Portfolio "Obsolescence Insurance" Audit

Institutional investors are terrified that the "AI Boom" will lead to a glut of data centers that are technically obsolete in 10 years. This service provides a "future-proof" score for their existing or prospective portfolios.

What This Is

A technical-commercial assessment of whether a facility can handle the next generation of high-density compute (e.g., transition from Air Cooling to Liquid Cooling).

What I Review

  • Thermal Ceiling Analysis: Can the physical shell support the weight and plumbing required for liquid-to-chip cooling?

  • Density Stress Test: Evaluating the facility’s ability to scale from 20kW per rack to 100kW+ per rack.

  • Exit Strategy Stress Test: Modeling secondary-market liquidity if the primary AI tenant vacates.

  • Carbon Footprint Compliance: Assessing exposure to future "Green Taxes" or carbon reporting mandates (SEC/EU requirements).

Deliverables:

* Portfolio Health Scorecard (Grading assets A through F on future-readiness).

  • Capex estimate for necessary future retrofits.

  • Executive Presentation for Investment Committee/Board.

  • Pricing: * $15,000 for a single asset.

    • $50,000+ for portfolio-level (5+ assets) engagements.

Independent Pre-Investment Review
