Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NPM Interconnections (EUR) – Episode 203: Christina Mertens | VIRTUS Data Centres
Q: So in Germany alone, we understand that approximately 380 megawatts is currently under construction. Christina, could you start by discussing VIRTUS operations there first?
Germany is the first outside the UK for us, with Berlin-Brandenburg as the initial focus. We secured power first and land later, built a 80-megawatt incoming campus in Marine Park and are developing the 300-megawatt Wustermark campus, alongside fast-tracked permitting and close collaboration with local authorities.
NPM Interconnections (EUR) – Episode 211: Rafael Frias III | Black & Veatch
Q: What are the main structural challenges facing Europe's grid today, and how can engineering and planning address them?
The guest emphasizes aging infrastructure as the central constraint, calling for an integrated, regional planning approach that coordinates generation, transmission, and distribution with end-user demand, alongside aggressive deployment of storage to balance supply and demand.
NPM Interconnections (EUR) – Episode 199: Michal Swol | R.Power Renewables
Q: Is the capacity market the essential anchor contract for Polish battery storage, or do you rely on a combination of contracts to secure financing?
It's a combination. While the capacity market is important, pairing it with additional off-take structures (e.g., with utilities or corporate buyers) and leveraging CFDs or merchant revenues helps to present a more robust revenue stack to lenders.
NPM Interconnections (EUR) – Episode 199: Michal Swol | R.Power Renewables
Q: What were some of the challenging challenges to getting those assets to financial close and how are you ultimately able to do so?
The key was securing bankable revenue sites, signing solid corporate PPAs with major names, and using a mix of capacity market revenues and off-take contracts to strengthen the overall cash flow, which made lenders comfortable despite market volatility.
NPM Interconnections (US) – Episode 195: Liam Weld | Meter
Q: What is the growth opportunity for Metre within data centers and how does Metre relate to data center networks?
Metre positions itself as a vertically integrated networking company that designs, installs, and manages campus, branch, and data center networks for enterprises, emphasizing end-to-end responsibility and cost efficiency through integrated hardware and software, with a subscription-based model.
