What does BtMData do?

BtMData transforms industrial and energy assets into viable data centre projects: site assessment, energy and regulatory structuring, and ongoing management with the GridPass platform.

What is BtMData GridPass?

GridPass is the energy and compliance platform for data centres: regulatory cockpit with hourly renewable matching on measured telemetry, energy stack design with dedicated renewables, BESS and hourly PPAs, metered PUE/WUE and permitting with cost of delay.

What is Smart Power Cap?

Smart Power Cap is the demand management module: dynamic power capping and shifting of flexible load into renewable-rich hours, with verified savings in euros and CO2 measured from real server telemetry.

Which regulation does GridPass address?

Spain's upcoming data centre regulatory framework, still in the approval process, including hourly correlation with renewable generation, additionality, PUE and WUE reporting, and CNMC filings.

What this means for your AI infrastructure plan

Training a model in the same league as Grok 3 requires a dedicated AI factory: thousands of accelerators, megawatts of firmed power, low-PUE cooling, sovereign data residency and a multi-year financing structure. Below is how we translate the public profile above into a deployable plan.

Cluster sizing

We size GPU/TPU equivalents to your target FLOPs, accounting for MFU (Model FLOPs Utilization), checkpointing overhead and fault tolerance.

Power & cooling

From the 150 MW (Colossus, on-site gas turbines) reference, we derive substation requirements, PUE targets and cooling architecture (DLC, immersion, hybrid).

CapEx + OpEx

Full 20-year financial model: hardware, real estate, energy contracts, staffing, refresh cycles. Stress-tested against energy price scenarios.

Sovereign deployment

EU residency, NIS2 / GDPR alignment, optional air-gapped operation. No US CLOUD Act exposure.

Public estimates for Grok 3 indicate the cluster scale, capex and energy footprint required to train a peer model. We translate that into a deployable plan on EU-sovereign infrastructure.
