Core dimensions
- Grid reliability and outage exposure
- Generation adequacy and reserve margin
- Transmission bottlenecks and connection timelines
- Tariff structure and industrial power cost
- Renewable integration, storage, and firm-power options
- Data-centre site readiness and cooling constraints
