Fewer suppliers, fewer risks, and faster project delivery.

As data center power requirements continue to grow, grid connections have become increasingly complex, involving substations, transmission lines, cabling, permitting, commissioning, and maintenance. Managing these activities through multiple contractors can create additional interfaces, increase coordination efforts, and put pressure on project schedules. As a result, many customers are choosing an integrated approach for their grid connection projects.

Omexom provides a single point of accountability from early engineering through commissioning and long-term maintenance. By delivering substations, transmission lines, underground cabling, and related services through one organization, project interfaces are minimized, decision-making is streamlined, and execution remains under better control. This enables customers to focus on their core business while keeping grid connection projects on schedule.

Save time and reduce project risks with one accountable partner

A grid connection is not a single construction project but a combination of multiple interconnected phases. In data center projects, schedules are often extremely tight, making project success highly dependent on the smooth progression of each phase, from feasibility studies to commissioning.

Omexom can provide all services required for grid connection. Our expertise covers the entire chain, including preliminary studies, grid connection assessments, engineering, substation delivery, transmission line and cable solutions, commissioning, and maintenance. From the customer’s perspective, this means fewer interfaces, clearer accountability, and more efficient project management.

At its best, we can deliver a grid connection as a turnkey EPC project, taking responsibility for the project from concept development through construction. When information flows seamlessly within one organization from phase to phase, many of the coordination challenges and delays associated with multiple contractors can be avoided.

One of the most significant benefits of the single-partner model is a faster project schedule. When all phases can be delivered by the same organization, the total project duration can, in the best cases, be reduced by several months compared to a model where the work is divided among multiple suppliers. Every month saved can accelerate investment decisions, commissioning, and the start of business operations.

If required, the partnership can continue after commissioning through maintenance services. Having been involved throughout the entire project lifecycle, we already have a deep understanding of the system, supporting its reliable and safe operation well into the future.

Identify grid connection scheduling risks at an early stage

It is often assumed that grid connection engineering requires completed technical designs or highly detailed specifications. In practice, however, initial assessments can be started with much simpler project information.

Typically, all that is needed to begin is the location of the data center, an estimated power requirement, and a preliminary project schedule. Based on this information, we can evaluate potential grid connection options and identify the project’s key constraints and requirements. Potential capacity, scheduling, and implementation risks can also be identified before major investment decisions are made. The earlier these options and constraints are known, the better the project can be planned and managed.

One of Omexom’s strengths is the ability to produce comprehensive grid connection studies already in the early stages of a project. Grid connections are our core expertise, and our specialists are experienced in identifying the technical, network-related, and implementation requirements that are critical to project success, even when customers do not yet have all project details available.

This means customers do not need to arrive at the table with all the answers. Instead, we can help identify feasible options, requirements, and potential challenges already during the assessment phase.

The earlier grid connection considerations are included in project planning, the better potential surprises related to schedules, costs, and technical solutions can be avoided. Early planning also accelerates decision-making and enables the grid connection implementation to be built around a realistic project schedule from the outset.

Focus on your data center project, we take care of the power infrastructure

From the customer’s perspective, a successful grid connection project means clear project execution, a single accountable partner, and a reliable end result. Ultimately, it is about ensuring that the data center receives the required grid connection at the right time, without unnecessary delays, allowing the investment to proceed according to plan.

When the entire grid connection project is in the hands of Omexom’s experienced experts, data center developers can focus their attention on what matters most: designing and building the data center and developing their future business.
