No usable source links are available for this idea. Its signal notes and scores need independent verification.
When financial institutions and large enterprises pursue new AI data center construction, comprehensively evaluating candidate sites for power grid capacity, cooling water availability, telecom backbone proximity, and disaster risk requires 3–6 months of external consulting at a cost of $150K–$375K. In Korea specifically, confirming power grid connection availability alone takes 2–3 months of negotiations with KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation), delaying site comparison reviews and putting companies 6+ months behind competitors in project launch.
Enter a candidate site address and the platform automatically aggregates public data (KEPCO substation capacity, Korea Water Resources water supply, telecom infrastructure, disaster safety maps) to instantly calculate a data center suitability score. Core features: (1) Automated 4-axis scoring across power/cooling/telecom/disaster risk, (2) Auto-generated comparison reports across candidate sites, (3) Permitting timeline prediction.
