Power + Permission Guide
For data centers, power adjacency is not power availability, and zoning permission is not political permission.
For data-center owners, developers, site-selection teams, utility advisors, land-use counsel, and capital partners.
The decision lens
Power + Permission reads the site through two linked questions: can the load be served on a credible timeline, and can the approval path survive the local record?
Common early risks
The first-pass memo looks for moratoriums, water stress, by-right reversals, substation opposition, noise rules, ratepayer politics, conservation overlays, and prior local fights.
Professional handoffs
Utility availability, upgrades, energization dates, stormwater design, acoustic engineering, and legal entitlement posture must be answered by the right professional lane.
