Kouvola Savontalo DC site

The size of the site area can consist of 30 ha. Building right effectiveness is 0.4 on the area.
10,5 ha of the whole area has industrial zoning completed and rest of the areas will be ready in the next 2 years. No need for long time zoning process.
The area has excellent transporting connections; roads and railway.
Excess heat from DC cooling system can be used in existing district heating network which is located nearby.
Electrical power to the site could be immediately 10 MW and scalable up to 250 MW connected from reliable Finnish National Grid.
Time to service is really fast since KSS’ 110 kV existing substation is on the site.
No need for any long term permits since high voltage overhead line path is short.
Site is ideal for DC operations in terms of location, power, cooling, connectivity, fast track implementation and local support
