Start with a realistic case
Use the actual power commitment, utilization, electricity tariff or PUE whenever you have it. Defaults are reference cases, not recommendations.
These calculators are built for quick infrastructure screening rather than false precision. Change the assumptions, see how the economics move, and use the result as a starting point for a more detailed model.
Model committed kW, utilization, electricity, cross-connects, connectivity, remote hands, contract term and annual escalation.
Convert IT load and PUE into facility MW, annual electricity consumption, infrastructure overhead and energy-cost savings.
Use the actual power commitment, utilization, electricity tariff or PUE whenever you have it. Defaults are reference cases, not recommendations.
The most useful result is often not the headline number but how quickly the economics move when utilization, energy price or efficiency changes.
Procurement, financing, taxes, utility structures and site-specific engineering can materially change a real project. These tools deliberately expose their boundaries.
