What is the Resita data center project?
Resita Data Infrastructure SRL (CUI 54450187) is coordinating a pre-development data center site origination project in Reșița, Caraș-Severin, Western Romania, EU. The RES1 site is located at Calea Caransebeșului Km 7.5, directly adjacent to a 650 MVA Transelectrica 400/220/110 kV substation. The company has signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Municipality of Reșița (Nr. 28099, 27.03.2026) and holds an Institutional Support Letter from Mayor Ioan Popa (Nr. 366/15.04.2026). Resita Data is seeking a data center developer, operator, or infrastructure fund as development partner.
What makes RES1 different from other European data center sites?
Three factors are structurally rare in Europe in 2026: (1) No grid queue — primary European markets face 3–5 year interconnection queues (Frankfurt) or active moratoria (Amsterdam, Dublin). RES1 is adjacent to an operational 650 MVA node and the ATR is the first step, not a 3-year precondition. (2) Independent institutional validation — PPC Romania, Greece's largest energy company, acquired 9.9 ha adjacent to RES1 in December 2025 for a 100 MW plant on the same substation. Independent capital, independent due diligence. (3) EU jurisdiction — Romania has been an EU member since 2007. Full EU AI Act, GDPR, and regulatory framework applies, with Romania's lower industrial electricity costs (~€0.14/kWh vs EU average ~€0.19).
Is this site suitable for AI and GPU cluster workloads?
Yes. The power profile (indicative 50–200 MW, subject to ATR) aligns with AI training cluster requirements. The cooling infrastructure is exceptional: the Bârzava river provides 3.63 m³/s mean annual flow, more than 50× the ASHRAE TC 9.9 cooling requirement for a 100 MW IT load. The ambient temperature advantage (2–3°C below Western European hubs) reduces mechanical cooling baseline. Industrial zoning allows the power density and infrastructure footprint that AI GPU clusters require.
What documentation is available and how do I access it?
All detailed documentation is available under NDA to qualified counterparties. The data room includes: Strategic Partnership Agreement (signed, registered, official seals); Institutional Support Letter; entity certificate (CUI 54450187); 650 MVA substation documentation; 3 × 400 kV corridor maps; 4 EU PCI documentation; ATR process guide; site boundary KML (~3 ha); industrial zoning confirmation; PUZ elaboration status; ANEVAR valuation process outline; municipal calendar and HCL procedure outline.
