Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.
DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.
One tracked facility reports power consumption data, though aggregate capacity figures are not disclosed. Recent activity includes Volta's acquisition of Reynolds House, a former Telecity/Equinix site acquired from Lunar Digital, signaling asset transitions within the established operator base.
No recent deals tracked in this reporting period. Volta's earlier acquisition of the Reynolds House site represents one of the more material recent transactions. Separately, edge infrastructure proposals for AI workloads have been publicly mooted for Manchester, framed as part of a planned edge network, though these remain in proposal phase. The operator base remains concentrated among established colocation players and regional providers with no tracked new entrants or greenfield announcements in the current cycle.
Forward momentum depends on grid reinforcement beyond current visibility: Manchester's power supply profile constrains new deployments more than most UK markets, and operators scoping capacity additions should validate grid upgrade timelines with local distribution network operators before committing to site selection.
