OEE-Data Campus | TPG Cleantech

Why OEE-DCC

Digital infrastructure designed with its marine utility edge.

OEE-DCC is the lead story: a distributed nearshore campus architecture that places high-density compute at the centre and modular OEE-Cluster infrastructure around it.

01

Modular by design

A campus can be configured and validated in bounded modules before any scale-up decision.

02

Nearshore context

The concept is intended for coastal or protected-water settings where access, resilience, cooling and utility integration can be evaluated together.

03

Compute at the core

The central campus remains the digital load and operational focus; edge infrastructure is designed around its measured needs.

04

Clusters at the edge

OEE Clusters form the offshore marine-energy and Power-to-Carrier infrastructure backbone, subject to staged engineering proof.

Target Scale & Capital Sequence

Scale one validated petal at a time.

The reference campus remains a five-petal / twenty-module design target. Capital is proposed in bounded tranches so that each expansion decision follows measured technical performance, customer demand and independent economic review.

STAGE 0 · DEFINEModel & Site

System model, site screening, pre-FEED, permitting path and supplier quotations.

STAGE 1 · PILOT1 Petal · 4 Modules

Bounded marine-energy and compute pilot with an auditable measurement plan.

STAGE 2 · EXPAND2–3 Petals · 8–12 Modules

Proceed only after technical gates and committed incremental demand are met.

STAGE 3 · TARGET5 Petals · 20 Modules

Reference 1–2 MW-class target only if measured net output supports approximately 50–100 kW per module.

Proposed capital approach: milestone-based, ring-fenced tranches. Each capital request funds the next evidence package—not the full campus upfront. Capital quantum, financing structure and ownership terms are to be established after FEED, site selection, supplier quotations and partner agreements.

Five Conservative Economic KPIs

Capital follows evidence—not projections.

These are proposed decision KPIs, not audited forecasts. Thresholds and capital amounts must be finalized through FEED, supplier quotations, customer commitments, pilot data and independent financial review.

KPI 01Capital-at-Risk KPI 02Demand Coverage KPI 03CAPEX Intensity KPI 04Downside Margin KPI 05Break-Even Gate

Capital-at-Risk

Release capital only for the next defined validation tranche; later-stage capital remains uncommitted until the prior gate is signed off.

PROPOSED GATE · 0% later-stage release before sign-off

Demand Coverage

Require reserved or contracted demand for each incremental compute tranche before adding capacity.

PROPOSED GATE · ≥70% of incremental capacity

CAPEX Intensity

Track installed capital per net continuous kW and per commissioned compute rack, benchmarked against qualified local alternatives.

TARGET CEILING · Set after FEED, quotations and pilot data

Downside Margin

Test net output, availability, PUE, energy price, utilization and operating cost under an independently reviewed downside case.

PROPOSED GATE · Positive unit contribution in downside case

Break-Even Gate

No break-even date is claimed today. Establish a credible range only from validated CAPEX, OPEX, utilization, financing and revenue assumptions.

FID GATE · Independently reviewed break-even range

OEE-Cluster Energy Backbone

The marine-energy and P2C infrastructure layer.

OEE-Cluster is conceived as the offshore backbone at each petal—hosting marine-energy conversion and the infrastructure needed to condition, route and use output around the campus.

Power-to-Carrier pathways are conditional design options, not present operating claims. Their role depends on measured energy availability, site conditions, safety, offtake and economics.

Scope clarity: OEE-Dome is a separate water-focused community or island platform. It is not the data-campus architecture and is intentionally not combined with the OEE-DCC proposition.

Target 1–2 MW Modular Campus Strategy

A planning target, not a claim of achieved output.

The 1–2 MW-class campus is a design target for a five-petal / twenty-module configuration. Reaching that range would require approximately 50–100 kW of net average electrical output per module.

These figures are preliminary TPG planning assumptions. They do not establish that twenty modules currently produce 1–2 MW. Net output, parasitic loads, availability, storage, conditioning, redundancy and campus demand must be modelled, tested and independently validated.

Validation Pathway

Evidence before scale.

TPG is seeking partners to turn the concept into a measured engineering programme with explicit gates.

01 / MODEL

System model

Define site conditions, resource inputs, loads, interfaces, losses and an auditable energy balance.

02 / TEST

Subsystem testing

Characterize Hyper Shuttle mechanics, conversion efficiency, controls, durability and parasitic demand.

03 / PILOT

Marine pilot

Test a bounded OEE-Cluster configuration under representative nearshore conditions and duty cycles.

04 / VERIFY

Independent validation

Use third-party measurement to determine credible net output, reliability, economics and scale-up readiness.
