Fireside Chat: Assessing Site Selection Trade-Offs to Unlock Viable Development in Saturated Power Markets & Prevent Costly Rework

• Quantifying land viability by stress-testing assumptions around delayed permanent power, interim self-generation, water sourcing, and enabling infrastructure costs
• Applying real due-diligence learnings from high-demand markets to understand what actually tips a site from “possible” to “not worth pursuing”
• Balancing fibre access, utility timelines, and community receptiveness to determine long-term feasibility rather than short-term availability
