Plan for success with strategic data center site selection
GE Vernova's Consulting Services team conducts comprehensive studies to help you select the optimal site for your data center build or expansion.
The right site
Site selection for economic, reliable, and sustainable data centers
A crucial step in the process, site selection impacts energy costs, reliability, and operational efficiency. We conduct thorough condition analyses of potential sites, evaluating factors like infrastructure readiness, environmental conditions, and power accessibility to help ensure the site is viable for long-term operations.
A delicate balance
Data center site selection challenges
Data center site selection demands far more than land—it necessitates a careful balancing act of power reliability, environmental risk, and future‑proof scalability. Site missteps can compromise operational resilience, bog you down with soaring costs, and limit your growth potential, before construction even begins. That’s why accessing strategic data center site selection and robust data center site selection services is essential to safeguard performance and drive scalable, cost‑effective development.
Key challenges in data center site selection include:
- Limited access to reliable power and grid connectivity, leading to supply constraints or expensive infrastructure upgrades
- Exposure to environmental threats such as flooding, drought, seismic activity, or extreme weather, undermining operational resilience
- Lack of fiber and data network access, causing latency issues, delayed connectivity deployment, or increased costs
- Regulatory and zoning complexity (ranging from evolving environmental policies to sudden zoning crackdowns) hindering approvals and progress
- Scalability limitations, including grid congestion or land limitations that obstruct long‑term expansion and drive up the total cost of ownership
