Tracked indicators

IndicatorValueReadingStateSource
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. 11 gCO2e/kWh Measured RTE eCO2mix — national CO2 intensity 2026-07-07T07:00:00+00:00 (11 gCO2/kWh) — accessed 2026-07-07
Grid connection capacity / proximity How easily the site can be connected to the power grid: available capacity and distance to the nearest substation. saturated Measured Caparéseau (RTE S3REnR) — poste COURTRY at 4.9 km: 0.0 MW available hosting capacity (updated 13/06/2026) — accessed 2026-07-07
Grid congestion / connection queue How congested the local grid is: the more saturated, the more the connection competes with other users. critical Measured Caparéseau (RTE S3REnR) — poste COURTRY at 4.9 km: 100.0% reserved-capacity fill rate (updated 13/06/2026) — accessed 2026-07-07
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. 1.24 PUE Announced MRAe Île-de-France — Avis délibéré du 08/04/2026, projet Campus IA à Fouju (77) — PUE annualisé 1,24 (DC1), EI p.345 — accessed 2026-07-09
Water
Local water stress Water tension in the area: in an already water-scarce region, withdrawals weigh more heavily. high Measured VigiEau — drought-restriction status at point (accessed 2026-07-07) — accessed 2026-07-07
Water body status The ecological health of the affected river or aquifer, per the EU classification (from 'high' to 'bad'). bad Measured EEA WISE (WFD 2022) — water body FRHR91-F4468000 'ru d'andy': ecological status class 5/5 — accessed 2026-07-07
Basin withdrawal pressure How intensively water is already withdrawn from the basin: a heavily-tapped basin ill affords a new user. low Measured Hub'Eau BNPE — commune 77195: 0.116 Mm3 withdrawn in 2023 (all uses, provisional pressure band) — accessed 2026-07-07
Cooling technology + announced water volume The cooling technology chosen and the water volume it will consume, as announced by the operator. closed_loop_dry Announced MRAe Île-de-France — Avis délibéré 08/04/2026, Campus IA Fouju — refroidissement sans eau (DC1), 680 groupes froids R1234ze en circuit fermé, EI p.34/37 — accessed 2026-07-09
Land & biodiversity
Overlap / distance to protected areas How close the project is to protected natural areas (Natura 2000, nature reserves…). distant_over_5km Measured INPN / IGN API Carto — Natura 2000 & ZNIEFF overlap by distance ring — accessed 2026-07-07
Soil status (artificialized / natural / agricultural) What the land was before: already built (brownfield), natural, or farmland — sealing farmland or nature weighs most. agricultural Measured IGN API Carto GPU — PLU zoning 'A' — accessed 2026-07-07
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. 70 hectares Announced Campus IA — site officiel de la concertation (maître d'ouvrage) : « Le projet se développera sur environ 70 hectares » (presse : ~90 ha périmètre global) — accessed 2026-07-09 · archived
Avoid-reduce-offset measures / heat recovery Measures to avoid, reduce or offset harm, and to reuse the heat produced. heat_recovery_and_erc Announced MRAe Île-de-France — Avis délibéré 08/04/2026, Campus IA Fouju — 15 MWth chaleur fatale récupérée (9 utilisateurs), séquence ERC 4 évitement/17 réduction/suivi 30 ans — accessed 2026-07-09
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. strong_fit Measured INSEE Filosofi (via data.gouv) — commune 77195: median disposable income 28330 €/consumption unit — accessed 2026-07-07
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. 2153.8 MW per 1000 inhabitants Measured INSEE populations légales — Fouju (77, ~650 hab.) ; puissance 1400 MW (dossier de concertation CNDP). Ratio MW/1000 hab, calcul déterministe — accessed 2026-07-09
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 2026-07-07
Announced jobs The number of permanent jobs announced, relative to project size. More is better. The higher the value, the better. 500 permanent jobs per 100 MW Announced Campus IA — Dossier de concertation publique (maître d'ouvrage), CNDP, oct. 2025 — « plusieurs centaines d'emplois directs, plus de 1 000 indirects » (§4.1) — accessed 2026-07-09 · archived
Announced tax revenue The tax revenue the project would bring to the town, as announced. announced_unquantified Announced Campus IA — Dossier de concertation publique, CNDP, oct. 2025 — fiscalité locale listée (CFE, foncier, IFER, DMTO) sans montant chiffré (§4.2) — accessed 2026-07-09 · archived

  • Council deliberations: favorable
Measured Préfecture de Seine-et-Marne — enquête publique unique Campus IA Fouju (30 avr.–30 mai 2026), commission E26000004/77 — accessed 2026-07-09
