The whole plan, in one page
Yeats Edge in 60 seconds

We buy buildings with a power connection already in place, and lease them to the companies that run AI.

London from above 1
7–13 yrs for a new London connection
THE PROBLEM AI needs power near people Microsoft just walked away from a 50 MW site because the power isn't coming.
An old call centre 2 power still connected
THE ASSET Buildings with power already in Call centres, print works, exchanges: wired for loads they no longer use.
The Yeats power map 3
80,166 buildings mapped
FIND Every building in Britain, scored 24,535 could take 5 MW today. Our plan needs 16.

Power confirmed
Tenant signed
Funding in place
SECURE Three gates before we buy Until all three pass, only fees are at risk.
The building made ready 5 £4.0m per MW
PREPARE Secure, presentable, powered Fence, cameras, making good, a confirmed connection. All in.
AI computers installed by the operator 6 £750k per MW a year
LEASE The operator brings the computers 10–15 year sterling lease. They carry all the kit.
THE FIRST STEP £25m 2 sites · 8 MW · about 3.5x in 3 years
THE PLATFORM 105 MW 16 sites in 5 years, each below 40 MW
WHAT IT COULD BE WORTH £1.26bn on £420m of cost, at a 5.75% yield
