One tracked facility reports power consumption data, though the aggregate capacity across the market remains undisclosed. The market has recorded no recent deal activity.\n\nThis combination indicates structural tightness in the power supply environment. Together, these metrics reflect that securing additional power supply for new or expanded facilities will face genuine technical and commercial obstacles. The verdict applies specifically to the feasibility of sourcing new power, not to broader market characteristics.\n\nNo recent deals have been tracked in Auckland. Chorus New Zealand Limited's five-site footprint represents the largest single operator presence, followed by equal three-site positions held by 2degrees and Spark New Zealand. Outside tracked facilities, DataVault has publicly announced plans for a 3MW data center in Auckland with first-phase delivery targeted for next year, backed by eleven carrier commitments.
