PowerlandMap

Market, site and power intelligence upstream of design. PowerlandMap answers where the opportunity is and what evidence supports it; DCtoB answers what concept it implies.

PowerlandMap · Market, site and power intelligence

PowerlandMap is a data center market intelligence platform covering qualified supply, transmission and grid context, anonymised demand signals, electricity price benchmarks and development opportunities, using traceable sources and explicit confidence levels, with coverage and evidence depth varying by record and geography.

It answers the question that comes before design: where is the opportunity, and what evidence supports it? It keeps the distinctions that matter visible — requested grid capacity is not reserved capacity, and reserved capacity is not energised capacity — so a brief arrives with its assumptions stated rather than assumed.

  • Qualified supply, demand signals and competitive pipeline
  • Transmission mapping and documented connection milestones
  • Electricity price benchmarks and construction cost context
  • Market research and comparative market studies

How the two platforms fit together

PowerlandMap

Where is the opportunity, and what evidence supports it?

  • Qualified supply, demand signals and competitive pipeline
  • Transmission mapping and documented connection milestones
  • Electricity price benchmarks and construction cost context
  • Market research, with traceable sources and explicit confidence levels

The handover

An agreed input package, with every unknown recorded as an assumption rather than a number.

  • Site boundary and land status
  • Target IT load and phasing
  • Rack density and redundancy
  • Cooling constraints
  • Grid position, stated plainly
  • Required deliverables
DCtoB

What concept supports it, and what must be challenged next?

  • IT load as the starting metric, facility load as a result
  • Electrical and mechanical single lines, equipment sizing
  • Redundancy proven by tripping a unit and re-routing the load
  • Test fit on the real plot, 3D model and preliminary BoQ

The decision

Proceed, resize, re-phase — or reject it early, which is also a result.

Each company scopes and invoices its own services.

How a partner-introduced project runs

  1. Evidence. The partner qualifies the market, the site and the power position, and records what is still unverified.
  2. Brief. Those findings become an input package: site boundary and land status, target IT load and phasing, rack density, redundancy, cooling constraints and required deliverables. Every unknown is carried as an assumption, not converted into a number.
  3. Concept. DCtoB sizes the power and cooling from the IT load, lays the facility out on the real plot, draws the single line diagrams, tests the redundancy and counts a preliminary bill of quantities.
  4. Written proposal. Scope, deliverables, turnaround and fee are confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Request a PowerlandMap quote

If you are working with DCtoB and need the market, site and power evidence behind a project, we can introduce you to PowerlandMap and register the opportunity so the two sides line up from the start. Register through the link below and your site, power position and design brief are qualified before anything is quoted.

Registration does not guarantee a discount. Any preferential condition must be agreed and confirmed by PowerlandMap in writing, and pricing is determined case by case in a written PowerlandMap quotation.
