Project synthesis

the overall reading behind the letters

Project & process Awaiting documentation

The project- and process-specific elements — announced efficiency, water and energy commitments, public consultation, dossier transparency — are not yet documented to the required threshold. The project & process grade is therefore withheld: below the coverage threshold, the observatory writes “insufficient data” rather than grading the unknown.

Site Favorable grid, local environmental pressures

The local electricity grid shows a carbon intensity of 17.6 gCO2/kWh and offers comfortable connection capacity, with 55.6 MW available at the nearby substation located 0.9 km away and a still-low reservation rate (4%). On the other hand, the local water resource is under strain: the nearby water body is classified in degraded ecological condition (class 4/5) and the basin saw nearly 64.4 million m³ withdrawn in 2023, corresponding to very high pressure on the resource; protected natural areas are also located less than one kilometer away. These contrasting elements — an easy electrical connection alongside marked constraints on water and the natural environment — place the site's rating in an intermediate position.

“Rated C on site, but E on “Water”.”

Tracked indicators

Indicator	Value	Reading	State	Source
Energy
Local grid carbon intensity How much CO₂ is emitted to produce the electricity the site will consume, based on the regional grid. The lower the value, the better.	17.6 gCO2e/kWh		Measured	RTE eCO2mix (données définitives) — France national CO2 intensity, 12-month mean 2025-07-30..2026-04-30 (17.6 gCO2/kWh, n=13196 half-hourly) — accessed 2026-07-30
Grid connection capacity / proximity How easily the site can be connected to the power grid: available capacity and distance to the nearest substation.	adequate		Measured	Caparéseau (RTE S3REnR) — poste SAUMATY at 0.9 km: 55.6 MW available hosting capacity (updated 13/06/2026) — accessed 2026-07-14
Grid congestion / connection queue How congested the local grid is: the more saturated, the more the connection competes with other users.	low		Measured	Caparéseau (RTE S3REnR) — poste SAUMATY at 0.9 km: 4.0% reserved-capacity fill rate (updated 13/06/2026) — accessed 2026-07-14
PUE (announced energy efficiency) The announced energy efficiency: total electricity used versus what actually powers computing. Closer to 1 is better. The lower the value, the better.	— PUE	—		—
Water
Local water stress Water tension in the area: in an already water-scarce region, withdrawals weigh more heavily.	moderate		Measured	VigiEau — drought-restriction status at point (accessed 2026-07-14) — accessed 2026-07-14
Water body status The ecological health of the affected river or aquifer, per the EU classification (from 'high' to 'bad').	poor		Measured	EEA WISE (WFD 2022) — water body FRDR11034 'ruisseau des aygalades': ecological status class 4/5 — accessed 2026-07-14
Basin withdrawal pressure How intensively water is already withdrawn from the basin: a heavily-tapped basin ill affords a new user.	very_high		Measured	Hub'Eau BNPE — commune 13055: 64.417 Mm3 withdrawn in 2023 (all uses, provisional pressure band) — accessed 2026-07-14
Cooling technology + announced water volume The cooling technology chosen and the water volume it will consume, as announced by the operator.	—	—		—
Land & biodiversity
Overlap / distance to protected areas How close the project is to protected natural areas (Natura 2000, nature reserves…).	adjacent_under_1km		Measured	INPN / IGN API Carto — Natura 2000 & ZNIEFF overlap by distance ring — accessed 2026-07-14
Soil status (artificialized / natural / agricultural) What the land was before: already built (brownfield), natural, or farmland — sealing farmland or nature weighs most.	artificialized		Measured	IGN API Carto GPU — PLU zoning 'UCt2' — accessed 2026-07-14
Ecological corridors (TVB) Whether the project severs a wildlife corridor (green-and-blue network).	Not disclosed	—	Missing	—
Project ground footprint The project's ground footprint in hectares: the larger, the greater the land impact. The lower the value, the better.	— hectares	—		—
Avoid-reduce-offset measures / heat recovery Measures to avoid, reduce or offset harm, and to reuse the heat produced.	—	—		—
Local impact
Municipality socio-economic profile The host town's social profile. A safeguard: a project must never improve its grade by locating in a vulnerable town.	sensitive		Measured	INSEE Filosofi (via data.gouv) — commune 13055: median disposable income 20330 €/consumption unit — accessed 2026-07-14
Absorption capacity (project size vs municipality) The project's size relative to the town: a very large project in a small town disrupts more. The lower the value, the better.	0.4163 MW per 1000 inhabitants			INSEE populations légales via geo.api.gouv.fr — Marseille 16e Arrondissement (15854 hab.) ; puissance ~6.6 MW (estimation interne kNN — poc-mw-estimator). Ratio MW/1000 hab, calcul déterministe · vérification primaire tentée 2026-07-19 (opérateur/permis/presse) : aucune valeur mieux sourcée trouvée — accessed 2026-07-14
Technological hazard / nearby Seveso sites The presence of hazardous industrial sites (Seveso) nearby, adding risk to the surroundings.	seveso_low_within_5km		Measured	Géorisques — classified installations (Seveso status) within 5 km — accessed 2026-07-14
Announced jobs The number of permanent jobs announced, relative to project size. More is better. The higher the value, the better.	— permanent jobs per 100 MW	—		—
Announced tax revenue The tax revenue the project would bring to the town, as announced.	—	—		—
Observed level of opposition The scale of observed opposition: appeals, petitions, mobilizations reported by the press.	Not disclosed	—	Missing	—
Elected officials' position (voted facts only) Elected officials' position as expressed by official votes only (council decisions), with no personal judgment.	Not disclosed	—	Missing	—
Transparency & governance
Consultation / consent / governance (procedural proxies) The quality of the democratic process: public inquiry held, environmental authority opinion, appeals, CNDP referral.	—	—		—
Documentation transparency / file availability How genuinely accessible the project's file is to the public: published studies, figures and commitments.	—	—		—

Project & process grade at this date–
Audit L2 (memo 2026-07-19, signed Franck Bardol): the power figure behind L2 is aggregator-class (basis undeclared, measured wrong 2x-13x vs the Dutch EED register) — L2 moves to 'announced' (declarative cap + confidence penalty). An aggregator MW is an unverified third-party claim, not a measured public fact.
