Powered land
In this market the scarce asset is not acreage — it is a signed grid connection. «Powered land» means a site with secured or well-queued utility capacity, and it trades at multiples of comparable land without power. This page explains what qualifies, and takes confidential intake from both owners and buyers while the listing program is in build-out.
Quick answer
What is powered land?
A development site where utility power is already secured or credibly queued: a signed interconnection or capacity agreement, a substation nearby with confirmed headroom, or an advanced position in the utility's queue. Everything else — fiber routes, water, zoning — matters, but power defines the price: buyers routinely pay several times more for a plot with 100 MW secured than for better land still waiting in a five-year queue.
What buyers verify first
Power position
Signed capacity agreement or queue position with the utility, target MW and energization dates — documents, not statements.
Substation & headroom
Distance to the serving substation, its voltage, and whether the stated headroom is confirmed by the utility.
Fiber & latency
Distance to long-haul routes and metro rings; two independent paths minimum for a serious campus.
Water, zoning, permits
Cooling water rights or reuse options, current zoning, and how far permitting has progressed.
Where the demand is
Our development pipeline shows where operators are placing gigawatt-scale bets — those markets are where powered land clears fastest. Cross-check electricity benchmarks before pricing a site: the tariff corridor shapes what a buyer will pay.

FAQ
How much more is land with power worth?
There is no public index — deals are private — but the market logic is consistent: interconnection queues in major markets run three to five years, so a site with signed capacity effectively sells years of time. That premium routinely reaches multiples of the un-powered comparable, scaling with secured MW and energization date.
Do you publish listed sites?
Yes, with the owner's consent. Listed sites appear in the table above with owner-stated figures and no street addresses; the underlying documents move under NDA through a licensed brokerage partner. Nothing is published without sign-off, and an entry is updated or withdrawn on the owner's request.
Which markets clear fastest?
Follow the development pipeline: markets where operators announce gigawatt-scale campuses — Northern Virginia, Texas and Phoenix in the US, Johor and Batam in Southeast Asia, Madrid and the Nordics in Europe — are where powered sites attract competing bids.
