Data Center Power Readiness
Can the AI capacity plan come online under power, cooling, equipment, budget, and policy limits?
Result
~42 MW online IT load
Power-ready compute
Model map
Readiness check
Active limits
Cooling readiness fully used
Firm utility capacity full
Non-firm flex allowance full
Hall A ready capacity full
Situation
The GPU plan is ahead of the campus power and cooling buildout. Only infrastructure-ready load can become usable compute.
Model logic
Routes planned IT load through power, transformers, cooling, and ready GPU halls.
Readiness conditions
01
More GPUs do not increase usable capacity until power and cooling are ready.
02
Non-firm grid service covers only the flexible share of the load.
03
Cooling binds first; transformer and switchgear capacity bind next.
Takeaway
Add cooling readiness first, then plan transformer and switchgear expansion as the next capacity step.
