The market is dominated by hyperscale and regional colocation operators, reflecting established competitive positioning. The presence of multiple top-tier operators signals sustained infrastructure investment in the region, though facility distribution remains concentrated among three players.\n\nTogether, these scores indicate that operators seeking to expand or deploy new capacity in Des Moines will encounter friction in securing additional power allocations, making the market unattractive for power-dependent growth strategies.\n\nNo recent deals are tracked in Des Moines' transaction registry, leaving current operator M&A activity and capacity expansion intentions opaque. Microsoft's publicly announced plans for regional facility development create localized infrastructure signals, yet this has not translated into tracked deal activity in Des Moines proper. Cologix's three-site footprint and Meta's seven-site presence establish established operational scale, but no visible consolidation, divestiture, or expansion transactions are documented at this time.", "rationale": null, "verdict": "AVOID", "word_count": 266}, "pipeline": [], "power_grid": {"gen_additions_mw": 87.5, "interconnection_pending_mw": 262506.1, "iso": "MISO", "iso_queue": {"as_of": "2026-11-12", "as_of_basis": "live_feed_fetch_date", "basis_note": "Active only, summer MW; excludes Done, Pending and Withdrawn", "iso": "MISO", "queue_kind": "generation_queue", "queued_generation_gw": 262.7, "source_name": "MISO GI Queue API (applicationStatus=Active, summer MW)", "source_url": "https://www.misoenergy.org/api/giqueue/getprojects"}, "queue_capacity_mw": 13476.8, "queue_wait_months": null, "reserve_margin_pct": null, "time_to_power_as_of": "2026-11-12T08:46:10.888351+00:00", "time_to_power_basis": "DCPI modelled months to energize a new large load in this market (method: https://dchub.cloud/dcpi/methodology); a model estimate, not a utility date", "time_to_power_months": null}, "redirect_to": null, "requested": "des-moines", "risk": {"drought_months_d2_plus": null, "errors": {"drought_months_d2_plus": "no_drought_source_ingested"}, "water_band": 2, "water_band_label": "Low-Medium", "water_category": "mean of 64 Aqueduct 4.0 baseline-annual basins (arid counted as ", "water_stress": 21.9, "wildfire_seismic_note": null}, "slug": "des-moines", "tier": "FREE", "_gated": true, "_locked_fields": ["constraint_score", "excess_power", "excess_power_score", "reserve_margin_pct", "time_to_power_mo", "time_to_power_months", "top_opportunities_json", "top_risks_json"], "_upgrade_cta": "BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID verdicts, the composite score and the market list are free.
