Existing Industrial Shell, Romeoville / Will County

Fit read, not composite-ranked
Edge candidatereadiness 82

A 498,030 sqft industrial building in Will County, IL, currently marketed for lease and 0.4 mile from a 345 kV line, right-sized for a 15 MW edge or colocation load. No existing interconnection is claimed; actual service capacity is a utility will-serve letter at diligence.

Grid difficulty · mixed

In this county, 27% of power projects got built (12 of 45 resolved), versus about 17% nationally.

County power · market time-to-power 4 to 7 years · headroom constrained

Strong local interconnection redundancy tempers the county-level CONSTRAINED read toward MODERATE.

County/market-level screening read, not a utility will-serve confirmation or a Phase 1 ESA.

Building read
Measured shell 498,030 sqft

Fit right-sized for this load
Status currently marketed for lease
Beyond the documented range for a single-building conversion; verify actual capacity at diligence.
Scored on the powered-buildings lens, not the grid-scale composite. Service capacity is a utility will-serve letter at diligence.
Top 3 risks to clear
  • Incentives (30)
    No confirmed abatement at this parcel, verify eligibility.
  • Natural hazard (80)
    Confirm flood and hazard exposure at the exact parcel.
  • Transmission (83)
    The binding power factor: confirm the interconnection point.
Questions to ask before you commit
  • Is the existing interconnection agreement assignable, and at what MW?
  • What is the site's real deliverable power versus nameplate?
  • Any active local moratorium or zoning constraint on data-center use?

Not assessed for this site: Power availability, Interconnection, Reliability and carbon, Land / parcel, Land cost, Climate and cooling, Fiber and latency, Zoning and permitting, Community and political.

Additional site intelligence
Power-path optionality: 28 substations in reach, nearest banks at 138 kV. Supports the single-feed redundancy this load size typically expects. Proximity, not confirmed added capacity: nearby substations can share the same upstream grid constraint.
Water-source optionality: 0 surface-water sources in reach (cooling-supply candidates). Proximity, not secured supply: volume and water rights are assessed at diligence.
Nearest dam: Lily Cache Business Dam, Low-hazard, 1.6 mi
Wetland share of parcel (approximate): 0%
Nearest solar farm: IL Bolingbrook 279 Marquette Dr, 1 MW AC, 0.6 mi
Nearest wind turbine: Big Windy, 21.6 mi
Renewables PPA optionality: 30 solar / 3 wind projects in reach, potential PPA counterparties. Potential PPA counterparties, not deliverable capacity: terms are diligence-stage.
Large-load regulatory readiness: Gated (as of 2026-06-30)
