of sites sit in a basin under high water stress or water crisis.

The fleet is here. The water is already under stress.

ⓘ This is not a ranking. It is the photograph of a territory: what it already hosts, what it can still absorb, and what public files actually allow to know.

1. Can you still build here?

The fleet was built on land already taken — but many border protected natural areas.

0%

of sites sit in a basin under high water stress or water crisis.

What it meansCooling choices become a territorial question, not only a technical one.

WRI Aqueduct 4.0 · n = 45 Norway

64%

of the fleet is built on already-artificialized soil — not on farmland or natural land.

What it meansThe fleet grows mostly on already-transformed land — not every new project follows that logic.

24%

of sites border a protected natural area, within one kilometre.

2. What do we really know about the projects?

Operators disclose their capacity.

0%

of sites disclose their electrical capacity — the basic figure of any public debate.

What it meansThe basic figure of any public debate is usually available.

3. Where is the fleet heading?

The tracked fleet is already running.

100%

of the tracked fleet is already operating — we measure what exists, not only what is promised.

What it meansWe measure what exists first, not only what is promised.

4. What weighs most here?

The territory's constraints, ranked by the share of sites concerned — a descriptive ranking, never a grade.

1

Protected areas

24%

of sites within 1 km of a protected natural area.

2

Water

0%

of sites in high water-stress areas.

5. Three projects that tell this territory

A mechanical, published selection — the most common profile, the most constrained, the best documented. Real situations behind the aggregates.

The most common profile
